Sloane-Stanley Museum, History museum in Kent, Connecticut
The Eric Sloane Museum displays an extensive collection of early American hand tools and features the artist's original paintings and illustrations.
The museum building, donated by Stanley Works in 1969, stands near the Kent Iron Furnace, which produced pig iron from 1826 to 1892.
The museum preserves Eric Sloane's artistic legacy through his studio, complete with his paint-spattered easel and original works depicting New England landscapes.
The museum opens Friday through Sunday from May to October, offering guided tours and maintaining a gift shop with signed publications.
The Noah Blake Cabin reconstruction represents the dwelling from Eric Sloane's book 'Diary of an Early American Boy,' published in 1805.
