Sloane-Stanley Museum

Eric Sloane, (d.1985) artist, writer, tool collector, donated these early American tools on exhibit here. They're arranged by him to highlight their artistry and to illustrate the early settler's reverence for wood and skill and ingenuity in designing tools. It tells a story about our forefathers and the great American heritage of craftsmanship. Adjacent is the ruins of the Kent Iron Furnace, which produced pig iron 1826-1895. The ruins of the furnace, with its granite blocks and Gothic arch, can be seen just below the museum.
