Kenton Historic Courthouse District developed a comprehensive Digital Walking Tour that guides you through 38 of the most significant landmarks in the city’s downtown.

From the pioneer cabinet shops of the 1830s to the grand “Gothic” fraternal lodges of the 1890s, the bricks and mortar of downtown Kenton tell the story of a community built on industry, elegance, and resilience.

While the map provides the history, the supplemental image gallery provides the “then and now” visuals, and the page features a curated collection of vintage postcards and historic photographs, showing how these facades have evolved over the last 150 years.
