Things to Do in Kennett Square

One of the easiest ways to know whether Kennett Square is your town is to spend a Saturday in it.

State Street

Independent restaurants, coffee shops, a brewery scene and the kind of sidewalk where you run into people you know. Trattoria La Tavola and Cafe Emis are two of Nate's regular stops.
