About NRF:
Doris Duke (1912-1993) established the Newport Restoration Foundation in 1968 with the intent to preserve the city’s colonial streetscapes. Since then, the organization has grown to include one of the largest collections of early American architecture in the country, two museums, and two public parks. NRF continues Doris’s legacy through the commitment to the preservation of places and through sharing Doris’s story.
