Kent Historical Museum,

855 E Smith St, Kent, WA 98030, United States

"This lovely old home is chock full of Kent lore as well as vintage appliances, music machines and local history bluffs anxious to talk about way back when. Brush up on your vision of how it all started and envision life as a wealthy family in an emerging town far from the big city."

"I didn't actually go inside; I was here looking for a geocache and simply didn't have the time. The grounds are beautiful and full of little nuggets of information pertaining to Kent and the surrounding area. I look forward to returning when I have more time."

"Very nice local museum. We came for the Tree Tour activity and also visited the museum. Very beautiful yard and good exhibitions. It is good to know the history of this area. Thank you."

"This is not Disneyland so probably don't bring people looking for an amusement park. That said, it is a choose your donation (cash in a donation box or use your card on their FB page) museum. If you can get them to give you a tour and tell you some stories it is well worth your afternoon! I enjoyed spending over two hours there. And, I've spent two weeks telling friends, family, and co-workers some of the cool things I learned!"

"This place is a gem hidden in plain sight. Not only is it beautifully restored and preserved, but the exhibits that have been donated from all over the area, tell an incredible story about the town and America, as a whole. The exhibits give an intimate glimpse into the lives of some of our Japanese citizens who were sent to internment camps during WW2. Additionally, we get insight into Ft. Thomas and how Carnation condensed milk got it's start. The old building remains, it's back visible at the Kent Regional Library. I highly recommend a visit. It's free, but well worth the recommended $2 donation."
