Located on the grounds of the Redwood Library and Athenæum, the oldest lending library in America. There were three trees here at one time. In the early 1980’s, there was talk of cutting down the middle one because they were too crowded. Doris Duke came to the rescue and moved the tree to Rough Point.
The European Beech is Newport’s signature tree. Native to Europe, it was widely planted during the Gilded Age and thrives in Newport’s temperate seaside climate. Newport’s largest beeches rival the finest specimens in the world.
