Very nice little place! Tons and tons of computing history, some items very rare, all laid out logically (there's a flow to it all that tells a story if you follow along). Bill is super-friendly, knows his stuff for sure and you can tell he has a real passion for what this place represents. If you're interested in the history of computer technology, or just want to get an understanding of how we got to where we are today, this is a great spot to spend some time at Technology really has come a LONG way in a relatively short time, something that younger people especially can easily not appreciate (through no fault of their own!), and you can begin to get such an appreciation for it at this place. Definitely recommended, I guess, is the central thesis to my review :)
Bill gave us a fine tour, knows his computing and computer history inside out. Was pretty interesting seeing all these vintage computers in one place. And now they're opening a modern YouTube studio downstairs!
The store is great - very impressive museum with a great overview of all sorts of vintage computers from Commodore to Timex-Sinclair and more. There are also some great vintage-computer items to purchase like coasters and Space Invader socks. Bill himself was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Very much worth the visit for anyone who enjoys vintage computers!
My son and I had a great visit to Kennett Classic! Beautiful display of a variety of vintage computers, and an in-depth tour from the extremely knowledgeable proprietor Bill Degnan. Picked up a few accessory goodies for my vintage gear as well. Can’t wait to go back!
From Nov 4: Decided to take a drive up to Kennett Square, PA to see the new Kennet Classic recently opened by Bill Degnan. I was quite surprised by both the town and the shop. The town is a nice little slice of americana that gives you a feeling of being back a few decades. As you walk along the streets, you'll find restaurants and small shops for many varied tastes.nnBut then, on S. Union Street, I found Kennett Classic, quite a wonderful place created by Bill and Karen. It's very nice indeed. When you walk in, you are surrounded by items from a bygone era: Information about Babbage, a Teletype device and examples of systems that haven't been used regularly for decades.nnSoon, Mr. Degnan will come by and formally introduce you to the systems and information that you may never have known. There are many interesting bits of information.nnI has quite an enjoyable time there and hope to get back often.
