About the Loeb Visitors Center:
Before or after your walking tour, we invite you to explore the Loeb Visitors Center. Come for a history presentation, listen to a short welcome video, explore interactive, multi-media exhibits, and browse our gift items. Celebrate over 250 years of Touro Synagogue history, Newport’s colonial Jewish community, the origins of religious freedom, and the separation of church and state in America. Discover how Newport and the colony of Rhode Island laid the groundwork for our First Amendment rights.Admission Rates
Since there is no entry into the synagogue for THIS program, we are waiving the admission fee for the history presentations in the Loeb Visitors Center. We welcome any donations and suggest a donation of $5 per person.
