Join us at the Kent Historical Society Museum! Enjoy special cocktails and hors d’oeuvres and tour exhibits that highlight Kent’s journey as a mill town, a canal town, a railroad town, and a college town. The Clapp-Woodward House is the home of the Kent Historical Society and Museum.

The Victorian structure was built in 1883 and stands out among its neighbors. It was built for Harriet Kent Clapp, the daughter of Zenas Kent and Marvin’s older sister. It represents a direct link to the Kent family, along with the Kent Masonic Center, which was built as the Marvin Kent homestead at around the same time. The restoration efforts of KHS and its previous owners, Bob and Mary Paton, have kept the home in good condition.
