Kent Historical Museum - Kent (WA)

5 /5 Gil Smith: Not just a Kent historical place, but you get a great glimpse into what furniture and “modern” technology was like back in the 1920s. For a small $2 donation, you walk through the large two-story house and step close among many artifacts kept in excellent condition and read about the history. There is also a room upstairs dedicated to Japanese interment camps during WWII. When we visited, a very friendly Mike Evans (the man who carved the wooden welcome pole outside) came out of the work barn to greet us. Whether you’re a history buff or simply interested in what life was like back then, I highly recommend you visit and spend a couple of hours here.

5 /5 V. Taylor: 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 its start. The old building remains, its back visible at the Kent Regional Library. I highly recommend a visit. Its free, but well worth the recommended $2 donation.

5 /5 Jonathan Amundsen: This is not Disneyland so probably dont 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, Ive spent two weeks telling friends, family, and co-workers some of the cool things I learned!

4 /5 Sarah R: We were welcomed to a craft day just before Christmas. The building is vintage.

5 /5 Maggie Liu: 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.
