The Kenilworth Historical Society has proudly served as Kenilworth's official guardian of memories for over a century, dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and celebrating the village's unique history, architecture, and traditions. Through a variety of museum exhibits, educational programs, and social gatherings, the Society fosters a deep appreciation for Kenilworth's rich heritage.

Among its notable collections is an umbrella swift, an exquisite textile-working device that showcases the art of scrimshaw. This artifact, once belonging to philanthropist Elizabeth Hubert Malott, reflects her passion for needlepointing and the craftsmanship of the 18th and 19th centuries.
