Newport News Magistrate

There is much to see and do in this historic city by the sea. If you get tired of visiting the Mariners' museum and USS Monitor center with its full-scale replica of the Monitor and over 35,000 maritime paintings or the Virginia Living museum with its red wolves, bald eagles, a loggerhead sea turtle, fish with no eyes and frogs that change colors and cypress swamp and a mountain cove exhibits; you can visit its historic homes and neighborhoods such as Historic Hilton Village of close to 500 English cottage-style homes or North End/Huntington Heights lots of beautiful 1920's homes. For some classy and world class entertainment there is the Ella Fitzgerald theater in the Downing-Gross Cultural Arts center and the Christopher Newport University’s Ferguson Center for the Arts.
