    • Kenton mercantile was built in 1898 by Drew Barnum( a nephew of P.T. Barnum ).
    In Kentons "hay day", the town had a few churches, one school,
    a few telephones, a newspaper and Drew's store.
    Kenton soon had two large general mercantile stores, a drug store, variety store,
    ice cream parlor, barber shop, shoe and boot shop, two hotels and a livery stable.
    Before long, a bank was organized and they had three saloons.
    Things have change a bit since then, but one thing surely hasn't.
    The beatiful scenery and freindly atmosphere of Kenton has endured.
