The Durant-Kenrick House and Grounds is an 18th-century historic house museum that was restored and renovated in 2013 with the addition of a large, modern event space. We offer an interactive museum depicting the history of three families that lived and worked on this property for a period of three hundred years. The house rests on half an acre of historic gardens that reflect the area’s history as a plant nursery.
