The Kent Historical Society Museum | the artifacts of yesteryear
Marge McAvoy, Executive Director
The archives of the KHS are located at The Swift House, just east of the Patco Service Station near the traffic light at the junction of Route 7 and Route 341.
12 Maple Street | Kent, CT 06757 | 860.927.3153 or 860.927.4587 www.kenthistoricalsociety.org

The Kent Historical Society was founded in 1954 by a handful of townspeople who recognized the need to collect and preserve information and artifacts from Kent’s past. In 1972, Mrs. Pauline Skiff Gunn deeded the ancient Skiff Mountain School House to the Society, and six years later charter member, George Laurence Nelson, left his beloved home, Seven Hearths, to the Society in his will. For many years, the Society consisted primarily of people and papers. The papers were kept in boxes at the Kent Art Association, and the members met whenever possible to discuss them. As the boxes of papers multiplied, new space was sought and eventually a move was made to the Kent Memorial Library, first to the basement and then to the former children’s room upstairs. Finally in 2002, the six file cabinets and contents of many bookshelves were moved to the Swift House at 12 Maple Street. Recently, they purchased a scanner and are in the process of digitally archiving their considerable photographic records.
WISH LIST: Could use another Hard Drive to duplicate CD's.
Hours: Tuesday mornings from 9am - 12 noon, Fridays from 1 to 4 p.m., and also by appointment
