Housed and furnished in a preserved, three-story 1908 home, the Greater Kent Historical Museum serves as one of the Southside's true guardians of yesteryear. The whole family will enjoy the history and challenges experienced by those who worked to cultivate Kent Valley into the successful farmland and center of industry that it is today. The museum is one of Kent's oldest and finest homes, a three story 1908 craftsman style with carriage entry. The home is furnished with donated period furniture and an extensive gallery of local historical artifacts. Outside the museum Stuart Nakamura created Another Place, Another Time, an outdoor work of art honoring Kent's Japanese-American community.
Fun fact: We have a friendly ghost.
