About Us

In the beginning...

The Kensington Historical Society (KHS) has been an integral part of Kensington since 1977; our programs address a broad view of our local history. It is our hope the KHS will help stimulate greater interest in Kensington history and the preservation of Kensington’s architecture. We encourage the Kensington area citizens to join us at our meetings and to consider becoming an active KHS member. We appreciate the support and active participation of the community over the years.

What we do...

  • Newsletters - online and mailed to all KHS members quarterly
