In the 1980s, Newport Historical Society staff began the "Neighborhoods of Newport" oral history project, which recorded the personal reminiscences of Newport locals who resided in each of the city's six major neighborhoods: Bellevue Avenue/Ocean Drive; Broadway /West Broadway; The Fifth Ward; Historic Hill; Kay Street/ Catherine Street/Old Beach Road; The Point.
Helen Harpin, a descendent of the Hazard family of Newport, discusses her early life on Rhode Island Avenue, the WWI Victory Parade and Admiral Sims' return from Europe, the draft and WWII, and the Jazz Festival riot of 1960.
The digitization of this collection in 2023 was made possible through a generous donation by the Todd and Lisa Stuart Foundation.
