The Heart of Kensington - Neighborhood Preservation Advocacy
Lace up your time travelin' shoes!

We are always thinking up new ways to show off our unique and historic neighborhood.  With the centennial anniversary of the founding of the 1910 Kensington Park subdivision fast approaching, we will be creating many more ways to showcase our community.
