Annual Fund 2025: Make a Donation to the Annual Fund Here
Every year, the Kent Historical Society works to collect, preserve, interpret, and share the stories that make our community unique—from the earliest settlers who built this town to the generations who shaped its schools, farms, churches, and neighborhoods. Thanks to your support, we’ve made meaningful progress this year, including improvements at Seven Hearths Museum, expanded student tours and hands-on programs, free community events, and new volunteer opportunities. These accomplishments reflect the strength of our community and the value we place on protecting Kent’s history.
As we prepare for the 2026 America 250 commemorations, your support is essential to sustain this work. Our goal is to raise $25,000 for critical needs across our three historic properties—from window restoration and exhibition upgrades at Seven Hearths, to improved collections software and archival supplies at Tallman House, to essential repairs at the Skiff Mountain Schoolhouse.
Your Annual Fund gift also supports exhibitions, educational programs, and ongoing care of our collections. We hope you will make your tax-deductible contribution to the 2025–2026 Annual Fund today and help ensure that Kent’s history remains alive, accessible, and meaningful for generations to come.
In this season of giving, please consider a donation to the Kent Historical Society’s Annual Fund.
