About Kenilworth Historical Society

The Kenilworth Historical Society, established in 1974, is an independent, non-profit, tax-exempt, 501(c) (3) organization that is dedicated to researching Kenilworth’s past, saving its material culture and preserving its heritage. This primarily includes the preservation and interpretation of the Oswald J. Nitschke House (c. 1880), representative of the founding and early development of the Borough of Kenilworth; the political, social and economic forces and cultural traditions that shaped the community; and the rich history of Kenilworth from its early settlement to the present day.
