Cute place to stop on our way to COSM loved it, had so much fun will have to bring the kids.
This place gave me memories from my early years. 😍
Small museum with lots of history.
Just $10 to see and help to preserve our past.
👌👌
This is a really fascinating museum. The original curator collected pieces of American history via craftsman and trade tools from the last few hundred years. He started this museum and after his passing, it became a museum about him and his life as well. It is a fascinating jump into New England past, and how people created the tools they needed to make their livelihoods. The room dedicated as his workshop is very ornate and detailed. It’s as if he was only in it this morning…everything left as it seems he had it.
The best least known place to visit if you're in the Kent, CT area. Will not disappoint.
Surprised more schools don't do day trips to this place! Awesome history. Also "crystals" available, trains and dinosaurs!
A remarkable display of tools and implements that vividly describe the efforts of prior generations to accomplish farming and farm life. The relative evolution of these tools from their beginning to modern day iterations is even more astonishing in that most of them were handmade by the landowners and not a factory. Well informed staff were on hand to share their knowledge of Sloanes’ collection as well as the history of the museum, grounds and Kent Iron Works. Self guided tours with lots of written explanation of the items on hand.
