CT Open House Day at Seven Hearths Museum

Seven Hearths Museum was built in 1751 and served as a home and business center. Seven Hearths offers visitors a unique view of life in Kent in the 18th century with period rooms furnished with antiques and historical objects. These exhibits are contrasted with the story of artist George Laurence Nelson and his wife Helen Redgrave Nelson. For much of the twentieth century, it was their home and Nelson’s studios. Nelson’s paintings are on display and feature his portraits, a triptych of Helen in the garden and full length paintings of his family. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the Nelson garden just behind Seven Hearths. Owned and operated by the Kent Historical Society, the house is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Guided tours are offered on the hour ... last tour at 3:00 p.m.
