Welcome to Kent, CT, the home for everyone!

As a visitor to this quintessential New England town, you will be greeted by warm smiles and enlightening conversations with the locals. You can stay at the one of the six B and B’s and Inns where you will be spoiled by your innkeepers.

As a resident of this old-fashioned yet avant-garde community, you will find the most sophisticated, charming, out of the ordinary restaurants, clothing and accessory stores, antique shops and art galleries. You will quickly find lots to do here: fun outdoor activities such as skiing at Mohawk Mountain, kayaking and canoeing on the Housatonic, horseback riding on country roads, bird watching, and hiking the Appalachian Trail. You will explore the many state parks of Kent: Kent Falls, Macedonia Brook, Lake Waramaug, and the Bull’s Bridge Covered Bridge. For the more historic buffs, you will find yourself volunteering at the Kent Historical Society and Seven Hearths Museum, the Kent Memorial Library or you may choose to assist several non-profits in the area: the Housatonic Valley Association, Kent Affordable Housing, Kent Community Fund, Kent Lion’s Foundation, and Little Guild of St. Francis, the Sherman Chamber Ensemble, or the Sherman Players, Inc. You will explore the Connecticut Antique Machinery Association, the Eric Sloane Museum and Kent Iron Foundry.

"Your family will delight in the Halloween festivities."

Your children can enroll in local summer camps and as a family, you can enjoy an Earl Mosley’s Institute of the Arts Performance. Your family will delight in the Halloween festivities in Kent where your costumed children walk through town as shopkeepers open their doors to dispensing treats. Or seeing Santa Claus at one of the local shops after his annual pancake breakfast!
