Nice little museum of old tools. My husband particularly enjoyed the old axes. He was familiar with Eric Sloanes books. Bonus that there is a separate engine museum Nearby!

This is, hands down, the coolest little museum I've ever had the fortune to stumble upon! There's an impressive collection of early American tools, and the curator knows a tremendous amount....

This is a museum that I have been trying to visit for years, now, and finally was able to get to Kent, CT. The staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions that came up. Sloane's studio...

A lot of interesting things, despite breathing in gas / oil fumes. Still it's a must do for locals and tourists alike. Just remember to wear sneakers!

Enjoyable and educational experience. Everyone should go catch some wisdom. Check out his epitaph.
