Kensington is a town with a rich, historic past and a vibrant present. The sound of a train whistle still permeates throughout the town, reminiscent of Kensington's sleepier origins in 1873.Today, residents and visitors alike visit the charming train station for a weekly farmer's market and concerts. The streets are alive with art galleries, music venues, enticing restaurants, eclectic gift shops and antique stores. On the edges of the vibrant business district are beautiful 19th century Victorian homes and parks and Noyes, a unique children's library. Kensington has easy access to the large metropolitan areas of Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Annapolis. Rock Creek Park, an oasis in a bustling city, is in close proximity.
