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.

In this interview, Aline Leys of 228 Gibbs Ave talks about her voyages to Newport at a young age, and watching her children grow up in Newport. She also talks about the 1963 Hurricane and how the community had changed during her time living in Newport.

The digitization of this collection in 2023 was made possible through a generous donation by the Todd and Lisa Stuart Foundation.
