Kennett Friends Meetinghouse

Speaking of History

Join Tina Bennett, Kennett Township Historical Commissioner for a presentation on Hamorton Village - 250 Years of History.

2025 Annual Trout Rodeo

For nearly 30 years, this event has been a favorite in the community! Each year, hundreds of anglers and spectators of all ages gather around the ponds for a morning of fishing and fun. Ponds will be stocked with trout up to 22” in length. An accessible fishing dock is located at the edge of the pond. Tickets are available now!

Kennett Library

Solace Through Poetry

April 30th at 6:30 pm

Solace Through Poetry: an invitation to the community to read and share through poetry.

Poetry offers a unique and powerful capacity to hold the many and complex feelings related to loss, grief, and death—loss of any kind, grief for any loss, and death, both literal and metaphoric.
