Summary

Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger turn their attention to one of New England’s most perplexing structures—the ancient stone tower in the heart of Newport, Rhode Island. Some claim it was a simple colonial windmill, but others insist it predates Columbus, built by Viking explorers centuries earlier. Even more intriguing, theories suggest the tower served an esoteric purpose—functioning as a solar calendar or even an ancient camera obscura. What secrets does this enigmatic ruin hold? And who truly built Newport’s Mystery Tower?
