The citizens and businesses of Kenly welcome you! Widely known around here as Friendly Kenly, this town is ready to help if your car breaks down, need a break from the road, or on the search of a bite to eat. The town has three exits along I-95, Exits 107, 106, 105, that feature a touch of local farming heritage.
The founders of the Tobacco Farm Life Museum believed that travelers along I-95 would enjoy meeting area farmers and learning about their lives. They were right and began giving on-farm tours to hundreds of interested visitors – long before the term agritourism was trendy. Today, the museum, located at Exit 107, has a 6,000 square foot exhibit gallery, the Iredell-Brown homestead, a restored tobacco barn, a pack-house, and a schoolhouse all showcasing how families lived, worked, farmed, and worshipped in the early 1900s.
