Open house is offered once each year at Smiling Valley Farm in Newport. The sprawling acreage is seen by all who head to Ocean Drive before getting to Fort Adams. Not until one is able to get on grounds can one appreciate the beauty of this amazing undertaking. Established about a century ago, this family farm was designed by Commodore James for his mother in a style to remind her of home. Presently they serve an international role in the preservation of many of the animal species considered at risk. This is a major institution dressed in beauty and style. One would never guess that Newport, with all that is is and has, is also this! Read about their work and consider supporting them if you wish - https://www.svffoundation.org/
