| History |
|
This 300-year-old national historic district began as a settlement laid out by the state government for 30 homesteading families from England, Wales, MA, and CT. Between the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, busy shipyards along the Indian River launched nearly 200 vessels! Clinton's captains were known in trading ports along the Atlantic seaboard and on foreign shores. During the War of 1812, the village's citizen militia thwarted numerous attempts by British Warships to raid their harbor. On our Liberty Green sits a Navy cannon, reminiscent of those skirmishes, as well as a Civil War Monument. Clinton's Main Street stretch of the old Boston Post Road is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, from the Indian River to our own Liberty Green, a revolutionary war muster field and encampment. Main Street even has one of the Post Road's milestones placed in the 1750s by the enterprising Postmaster-General for North America, Benjamin Franklin. Both Washington and Lafayette are believed to have been guests at the inn that once stood to the southeast of Liberty Green! Clinton's showpiece is its stately Neo-Classical Town Hall, the 1938 legacy of a local banker. It boasts the Clinton History Museum with artifacts, memorabilia, a wonderful audio-visual presentation on Clinton's history, an antique doll collection, and an auditorium where theatrical and musical productions are presented year-round. |
