This exciting new exhibit documents the formation and key milestones of the Clinton Historical Society, from its inception in 1962, through the purchase and extensive renovation of the former Baptist Church and growth of its collections to the present. Learn more about the people and volunteers who built this organization over sixty years. The exhibit also showcases treasures of the permanent collection, including a pewter plate brought from Connecticut by early settler Moses Foote, a beautiful Civil-War era doll named “Kitty,” first Stone Church rector Reverend Asahel Norton’s robe, a Clara Barton letter, and wooden objects carved from the last of Samuel Kirkland’s apple trees.
