Reviews
"Participated in a 4th of July ceremony here. Very nice place to visit if you're into local/regional history. Struggled to find parking during my visit, but otherwise a great time."
"Awesome house, very informed hostess. Loved the history and seeing the original pieces and architecture!"
"The director is fantastic. This was a beautiful venue for my wedding. Everything went smoothly. Highly recommended!"
"Very cool home. So much of it was original or also brought over from the Kemps. The tour was great and she was so patient with my handsey child."
"I love historical houses, especially when the docents are eager to impart wonderful information about the house and its owners. The Kell House is a beautiful place to visit. The ladies joked that I now more more about Wichita Falls than most of it's townspeople. Worth the visit."
