About Kenilworth Historical Society

The society works to preserve and share the history, architecture, and traditions of Kenilworth. Its archives and exhibit space occupy the Stuart Memorial Building, which was completed in 1972. Visitors can view current and online exhibits, research village and house histories, and learn about past residents and National Register properties. The group also organizes social gatherings, educational programs, and architectural tours, and it welcomes new members and volunteers.
