Shame on Kenton  This church was built in 1849 & is now the home of Kenton (Kenmore-Tonawanda) Historical Society.  It is very disturbing to see the condition the Historical Society has left this property.  Posted signs appear to belong to this building, but do not.  Other items unrelated to the lot are strewn about the gravestones!  How does this educate proper historic methods & respect?  What abuse has the interior taken?
