Reviews of Durant-Kenrick House and Grounds
"Surprisingly comprehensive historical property tucked discreetly into a residential neighborhood on the Brighton/Newton border. Family friendly with interactive stations for kids throughout."
"This small but mighty museum was a great stop on our Boston visit. We were welcomed immediately and our questions were answered. The set up and displays are great. Things to look at, touch, play with, and listen to. Even as adults we enjoyed the children's room. We we're fortunate to have the place to ourselves. Great for all ages. Our college age kids enjoyed too. Grounds were inaccessible in March but I'm sure they are beautiful in summer."
"Beautiful house museum with excellent educational exhibits. The grounds feature colonial style flower and vegetable gardens."
"Was there slavery in New England? I did not know the answer to this until I visited this museum. Beautifully landscaped exterior with lots of native crops."
"A Historic house museum unlike any other. Become immersed in the roots of the American Revolution, in the social issues around slavery in the 1800s and more. Interactive exhibits and games for children. Brings history to life."
