The Kenilworth Historical Society is sponsoring the Communitywide Garage Sale as a service to the community. Any proceeds after advertising and other related costs are paid will benefit the Oswald J. Nitschke House “living history” museum and cultural arts center by helping defray operating expenses, including the cost of an elevator that makes the site fully accessible to everyone.
