In Newport, Samantha visits what is likely the oldest family business in America--the John Stevens shop--where Nick Benson and his family carry on the ancient craft of stone carving in a building older than the United States itself. With history found in every plot of ground, Samantha meets Newport Historian Keith Stokes, who reveals the hidden history of God's Little Acre, a Colonial-era cemetery whose gravestones tell the story of the African American experience in Rhode Island. They also visit Division Street, where advocates for religious freedom and the abolition of slavery were once uneasy neighbors with slave traders. Strolling on Newport's famous Cliff Walk, Samantha takes in spectacular views of the windswept Atlantic and Gilded Age mansions before stepping inside Marble House, the "cottage" owned by Alva Vanderbilt, a champion of the American suffragette movement. No visit to Rhode Island is complete without clams so Samantha takes to the water to try her hand at harvesting these mouth-watering mollusks with a little help from local shell fisherman David Ghigliotti. Samantha enjoys these fruits of the sea compliments of TR McGrath, whose family business carries on the tradition of Rhode Island clambakes. TR teaches Samantha how to end her Rhode Island trip right by making the perfect Rhode Island clam chowder-then treats her to a seaside lobster and clambake to top it all off.

Then it's on to scenic Portsmouth where Sam finds something new to explore in the Museum of Dumb Guy Stuff (the brainchild of two retired guys united by a quirky passion for history and a need to stay out of their wives' hair). For an excellent coffee break, Samantha pops into Cup of Joe where she meets owner and Portsmouth's Assistant Mayor, JoAnna Kelley. In nearby Dover, Samantha is taught the fine art of making authentic dumplings at Hong Asian Noodle Bar where three friends created a restaurant serving the food they grew up with in China.
