Bronze plaque mounted on a large stone, located in a park at the end of Kidd's Lane in the community of Cookstown. The inscription reads: "A native of Cookstown, Kenneth E. Kidd was one of the founders of the discipline of Canadian anthropology. A University of Toronto graduate, he joined the staff of the Royal Ontario Museum where he worked 30 years in the Department of Ethnology, latterly as curator. He gained national and international recognition for his research on the Blackfoot of Alberta and on Native trade goods. He excavated Sainte Marie Among the Hurons and Ossossane Ossuary in Simcoe County, supervised the Serpent Mounds excavations and initiated the recording of Native Rock Art. In 1964 he joined the faculty of Trent University where he founded the departments of Anthropology and the Native studies. After his retirement in 1972, he continued his research and received many awards for his contributions to Canadian anthropology and Native education. This plaque marks the homestead settled by James and Judith Kidd in 1825, where Kenneth Kidd grew up. He came home to rest at St. John's Anglican Church Cemetery, Cookstown.
