I had originally purchased a duo ticket for the Breakers & Marble House. On the last day of our trip we decided to squeeze in the Topiary Garden as well. The staff was friendly and explained that our Duo tickets were able to be upgraded to trios so we only paid an additional $8 each to enjoy the gardens. I think as a slight up-charge it was really worthwhile! Probably not worth doing as a stand-alone but we did enjoy it as a culmination to the mansion tours. The gardens are incredibly lush and peaceful to stroll around. And adults and children alike will fall in love with the topiaries! I was definitely charmed by them. It took us about 45 minutes to see the entirety of the garden and afterwards we decided to sit on the lawn with some Del's lemonade and enjoy the view of the Narragansett. The lawn is sprawling and offers some seating but if you're going during peak season, you might not snag a chair so perfect opportunity to bring a blanket and pack a picnic if you want to make a full afternoon experience. They do have restrooms onsite. Note that the gardens are located on the Brayton House property and the house is currently closed to the public. Also know before you go that the Brayton house and Topiary Gardens are located about thirty minutes driving distance from the breakers. It isn't clustered closely with the other mansions so you will need to drive over to Portsmouth.

    I have been to Linden Place many times and I thought it was about time to write a review of this…read morebeautiful colonial home and museum. Linden Place was built in 1810 by George DeWolf. When the sea was America's highway, the DeWolf family ruled along with the Browns of Providence, and as with the Brown family, the DeWolfs made their money in trading slaves. George's family and descendants occupied the house for 177 years until the Friends of Linden Place, a non-profit group, assumed ownership in 1988. Perhaps the most famous occupant was Colonel Samuel Pomeroy Colt, George's grandson. He started Industrial Trust Bank which later became Fleet and he formed U.S. Rubber which became today's Uniroyal Tires. This house is considered the "architectural crown jewel" of Bristol and it is important to the social history of the town as well. Walking around the house with a guided tour, you can hear and learn about the history of the house and the town, bright time and dark times. Learning about the slave trade is important because it was a part of our history, even though it was a sad one. The decor is exquisite, with the furniture, chandeliers, artwork and interior design set the same way it was in the 19th century. We have also enjoyed the outside grounds during wedding receptions, concerts, special events. The grounds are always immaculate so the events outdoors always shine. A beauty of Colonial architecture in Bristol.
