This “Kenilworth Stories” web space will document the history of the Kenilworth area, including Kenilworth Courts, Eastland Gardens, and Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens and Park.

The site needs your stories, personal/family histories, and documents about the Kenilworth area!

Send pictures; written stories and histories; news articles; programs from church services, funerals, and other events; or anything else that can be posted online.

You don’t have to call Kenilworth home to contribute, though I would especially like to receive personal/family histories from those who live or have lived in Kenilworth Courts, including where you lived and when and why your family moved.

Your story can be about you, your family, a neighbor, or a local hero or mentor.  It could describe a childhood memory, the celebration of a favorite holiday, a family or community tradition, all the places you’ve lived in Kenilworth, a favorite spot at the aquatic gardens, a football game or a fun swimming day at Kenilworth Park.

Send your stories etc. to Joe Lapp via email at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it   Or, if you cannot send a picture or document in electronic form, mail me a copy at the address below and I will scan or type it for posting.
