Fodor's Expert Review National Museum of American Illustration

Newport Historic Home

This museum exhibits original work by Norman Rockwell, J. C. Leyendecker, Maxfield Parrish, N. C. Wyeth, and more than 150 others spanning the "Golden Age of American Illustration" (1895–1945). All 323 of Rockwell's printed Saturday Evening Post covers are on display. Vernon Court, the 1898 beaux-arts--style building is an adaptation of an 18th-century French château and was designed by the same architects responsible for the New York Public Library and other landmarks; Frederick Law Olmsted designed the grounds.
