 Mark your calendar!  On Sunday, June 7, 2026, the Town of Kensington will be hosting the 2026 Maryland House and Garden Pilgrimage (MHGP) Tour for the benefit of the Noyes Children’s Library Foundation and the renovation of Noyes Children’s Library. Ticketed tour-goers will be able to visit 10 private homes and gardens in the Historic District of Kensington, and learn more about the history of this Victorian community. 

We will highlight the history of Noyes Children’s Library and the exciting renovation that we hope will be well underway by the time of the Tour. 

 
If you would like to help support the event, there are lots of ways to get involved - through advertising sales, advanced ticket sales, or volunteering. If you're interested in getting involved, please email
