  • The guides for the museum are amazing. Fantastic. Learned not just about the synagogue but about the history of Newport. Put this on your list if you are a history buff. It's a wonderful tour.

  • It's the oldest synagogue in the United States. Will sign up for the tour next time go visit.
  • Absolutely fascinating building, tour, guide and history. A must-see when in Newport. Learn about Washington's letter to the congregation and think about that letter (assuring Jews' wellbeing and safety) within today's experience.
  • Very cool place to visit. This is the oldest synagogue in all of America. And it actually is an active synagogue so if you’re around for services you should come in and check it out. Very good historic place in a very cool story city. It’s right in the center of town and it’s a very short walk. After that you can just walk down division Street and check out all the old buildings there that are all historical monuments. There’s a really cool black church that’s for free black sleeves down on division Street it’s not even mark any map it is very cool.
  • Beautiful space with history and symbolism. The tour guide delivered a wonderful story of the history of the Synagogue, the people, and Newport. Nice visitor's center with exhibits that were informative, appealing, but not overwhelming.
  • Moving history of early religious tolerance in that much of our world needs to learn from today. The Loeb Visitor Center is beautiful and we'll conceived, the staff knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. A must experience.
