The Kennett City Hall and Masonic Lodge, is a historic building located at Kennett, Dunklin County, Missouri, USA. It has also been known as the Dunklin County Museum. As originally constructed in 1903, the first floor was used exclusively as Kennett's City Hall and the second floor was occupied by several local Masonic organizations. The Masons moved to a new building in the 1950s, and in 1976 the city vacated the premises as well.{{cite web| url =http://dnr.mo.gov/shpo/nps-nr/81000333.pdf| title = National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Kennett City Hall and Masonic Lodge / Dunklln County Museum, Inc.| accessdate = 2016-09-01| author=Carol Goldsmith and Mrs. M.R.
