The Clinton Historical Society began in 1962 and was located over the Kirkland Town Library in rented quarters. Meetings were held there, and it is where the Society's collection was partially stored. The CHS moved to a new location in 1994. Using bequeathed and donated funds to remodel it's new location at One Fountain Street, the Society turned the former Clinton Baptist Church into what it is today. Now, a library has been set up, artifacts are on permanent display on the lower level, storage facilities have been built, and 100 chairs for meetings were donated by the School Town Questers group. The library is open to the public from 1:00 to 3:00 every Wednesday afternoon and 11:00 to 2:00 on Sunday for the public to view the exhibits. The staff is all volunteers. The newsletter is published 10-12 times a year to keep the members informed.
