Reviews

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.

The people more so than the museum

Besides having its very own historical story tied to the property, it also has multiple other stories that unfold for every room in the house! I love the era this house came from!
