At the Kinsley House You Can. . .
Step Into 19th-Century Life
​
At the Kinsley House, you can walk through rooms once lived in by Martin Kinsley—a Revolutionary War veteran and early U.S. congressman. Explore original details like pumpkin-pine floors, carved moldings, and a summer kitchen that reveal how people lived, worked, and entertained over 200 years ago.
