About
First opened in 1924 to the public, the Kitale Museum is the first domestic museum opened in Kenya. Originally, it was known as the Stoneham Museum, named after Colonel Hugh Stoneham. He had been a large contributor and collector of the artifacts held within the museum up until his death in 1966. It was later renamed the Kitale Museum when it was established by the National Museums of Kenya in 1974.
