Established in a historic former VIA Rail Station, the Society offers visitors a fascinating collection of photographs, artifacts, and stories that celebrate the town's past and its significance in the region.

Originally settled in the 1760s by New England Planters, Kentville was renamed in 1826 to honor the Duke of Kent, who visited during a hunting trip.
