Newport's oldest attraction, Jim is very interesting to talk with, I enjoyed the history, I go for the winter equinox, it's really cool to see. Truly fascinating!
A great piece of history inside a great little park in Newport! I like to walk my dog here, take photos and play Pokeman Go with my nephew!
Its amazing how much Newport Tower is overlooked in our area. The tower may be the oldest structure in the New World, and really doesn't get much attention. Newport Tower is an amazing, secretive, but beautiful structure. I had the opportunity to speak with Jim Egan, who runs the museum just a stones throw from the tower. Jim is a very bright man, who took the time to explain various documents, pictures, and theories on the towers origin. I would say Jim has it figured out. You can tell how passionate he is on the subject matter.If you're into history, especially pre-colonial, I would strongly suggest you going here!
Visiting in August was great. Walk around and see it from ALL the angles. There's more here than what meets the I (eye)
Most interesting if not for the connection to astronomical alignments, The Builders had to have advanced knowledge of positional astronomy, precession, and have to be working from a design that was well laid out for the location, suggesting a design. or they would have had to observe the stars and planets over a period of 20 years to get the alignments right.
