Eisenhower House at Fort Adams State Park

Eisenhower House at Fort Adams State Park is a historic wedding venue in Newport, Rhode Island, situated on the grounds where President Dwight D. Eisenhower once retreated. Built in 1873, this characterful manor exemplifies American Queen Anne architecture with its bright yellow facade, spacious porch, and iconic mansard roof, commanding views of Narragansett Bay and the Newport Bridge. The venue welcomes both ceremony and reception celebrations, allowing couples to exchange vows on the front steps before transitioning to a tented lawn reception. The venue accommodates large parties exceeding 300 guests and provides indoor event spaces for more intimate gatherings. The management assists throughout the planning process and offers waitstaff for the wedding meal, along with access to get-ready spaces. Located a short drive from downtown Newport and close to Providence, the historic setting appeals to couples drawn to the venue's presidential heritage and period architecture.
