Hammersmith Farm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hammersmith Farm is a Victorian mansion and surrounding property located in Newport, Rhode Island and was the childhood home to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The property hosted the wedding reception of Jacqueline and John F. Kennedy. During his presidency, Kennedy spent enough time at Hammersmith Farm that it was referred to as the "summer White House."
Hammersmith Farm was built for John W. Auchincloss in 1887, the great-grandfather of Jacqueline Kennedy's stepfather, Hugh D. Auchincloss. Although once open to the public for tours, it is now in private hands and closed to the public.
