SN 1604 (Kepler's supernova remnant) is just over 400 years old, and remains the most enigmatic of the historical galactic supernovae of the last millennium. Despite detailed, observational data sets and significant theoretical efforts, the SN type (and hence progenitor star) remain a matter of considerable debate. Much of this debate arises from apparently conflicting results and interpretations in the published literature. I will discuss recent and ongoing multiwavelength observational work on Kepler's SNR, including data from the three operational Great Observatories (Spitzer, Hubble, and Chandra), and compare with objects whose SN types or progenitors are known. This will be used to sort through the claims, learn more about the expanding remnant and its circumstellar environment, and may ultimately provide a consistent picture for the progenitor of the remnant we see today. Partial support for my participation has come from grant JPL-1264303 and from the Center for Astrophysical Sciences at Johns Hopkins University.
