Kensett Community Church << back to WCHS sites <<
|
The Church Museum, built in 1899,
was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in
1999. The church was designed by F.W. Kinney, a
designer listed in Iowa's Historic Architects. The
museum is architecturally notable for its tin interior, and
the documentation of the construction and membership from
1895 until the church closed in 1997. |

The main floor is used as a community museum and the
basement is used for community meetings and social events.
The WCHS has recently re-roofed and repainted the structure
and repaired drainage problems. |
