Preserving Kingston's stories for generations to come
Since 2015, Kingston Museum has been dedicated to safeguarding and sharing the rich history of our community. Through our Museum Education Center, carefully curated Collections, and ongoing Preservation efforts, we ensure Kingston's stories are celebrated and accessible to all who seek to understand this historic place.
Preserving Kingston's stories together
We organize our work around three focus areas because Kingston's history is interconnected. Our Museum Education Center builds community understanding. Our Museum Collections preserve tangible evidence of the past. Our Preservation of Kingston Histories ensures these stories endure. We treat those connections as the work itself, not separate tasks.
