FRIENDS OF THE ERIC SLOANE MUSEUM

Adjacent to the museum is a re-creation of Noah Blake's cabin, built to provide visitors with the experience of exploring the world of Noah Blake as Sloane envisioned it in his classic book Diary of An Early American Boy. In 2018, the Friends of the Eric Sloane Museum began rebuilding the cabin, which had been closed to visitors for more than a decade. In addition to the Noah Blake cabin, Wil Mauch rebuilt the Noah Blake outhouse - and made it an ‘Eric Sloane Little Free Library'. The campus also includes the remains of the nearly 200-year-old Kent Iron Furnace, as well as a walking trail tour of the iron making industry... The Friends of the Eric Sloane Museum created a traditional, dry-laid New England stone wall gathering area and fire pit to welcome school groups and tours.
