The Heart of Kensington is a group of neighbors who have come together to help preserve and promote our neighborhood's small town look and feel. We celebrate Kensington's uniqueness by conducting historic home tours and lectures, communicating information about our historical resources, and interacting with preservationists in other historic neighborhoods.
