Guided Tours
HISTORY OF BELCOURT
WALK WITH GHOSTS
The house also has had a fascinating paranormal history.
From Alva's obsession with spiritualism to the Tinney family's daily ghost "issues," it's not surprising that the house was once known as the most haunted house in Newport!
Join us for a candlelit (fake candles, but still!) guided tour through the house at night and hear our spooky tales of the spirits that once roamed this great house.
Are they still here? You be the judge!
Belcourt is proud to offer a live guided tour when the house is open, usually Friday through Sunday, year-round. Tickets can be purchased through the button below or at the door of the mansion during regular tour hours.
Each guided tour is approximately 60 minutes in length and explores the rich history and restoration efforts of one of the most fascinating mansions in Newport.
