Maybe you live in or near one of the older or distinctive homes in the area? Or perhaps you are interested in learning about different styles such as Greek Revival, Federal, Queen Ann, Italianate Villa, Gothic Revival, and Second Empire. Kirkland? Did you know there are at least five Sears “ kit homes” in Kirkland/Clinton?
Clinton Historian Richard Williams will be your guide on this virtual “walking tour” of the distinctive architectural styles found throughout our town. Richard L. Williams is the former mayor of Clinton (1987–97) and Village Trustee (1976–87). He has been a member of the Clinton Historical Society since 1968 and has served as the editor of its newsletter from 2000 through 2020.

He also was a contributing columnist for the Clinton Courier from 1975–2015 and now writes weekly columns on local history. He has written or edited 12 books on local history.
