International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum
International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum Review
Tennis fans and lovers of history, art, and architecture will enjoy a visiting the birthplace of American tournament tennis and its museum containing clothing worn by the sport's biggest stars, video highlights of great matches, and the 1874 patent from Queen Victoria for the game of lawn tennis among other memorabilia. The 6-acre site is home to the shingle-style Newport Casino which opened in 1880 and was designed by architects McKim, Mead & White, a grandstand, and the recently restored Casino Theatre. The 13 grass tennis courts, one clay court, and an indoor tennis facility are open to the public for play. In early July, the hall of fame hosts the prestigious Campbell's Hall of Fame Tennis Championships, the only men's pro tournament in the nation held on grass courts, and the induction ceremony for its newest hall of famers.
