The James E. Kirwan House and Store is a living museum located south of the village of Chester on Kent Island in Queen Anne's County, Maryland, United States. It served as a general store, lumber mill, cooper's mill, and blacksmith shop between 1889 and 1955 and facilitated local trade as a port on Kirwan Creek. The estate was donated to the Kent Island Heritage Society in 1998 to be run as a museum.
