Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Created to house and display the artwork and hand tool collection of the respected painter Eric Sloane, the Sloane-Stanley Museum & Kent Furnace is a fascinating state-owned museum. The building that contains the museum was formerly Sloane's art studio, and in addition to his antique tool collection, it contains a replica of his workspace and some of his original artwork. The iron furnace found on the property deserves a visit as well; the large stone structure features beautiful Gothic arches, and it was in operation until 1892. Visitors who keep their entrance tickets are eligible for discounted admission to the other state museums in Connecticut.
