"Old Brick"

The Captain Elisha White house is the oldest brick house on the shoreline from New Haven to New London. The lot in which the house was built was purchased in 1750 by a sea captain, Elisha White. The bricks used to build the house were thought to have been brought form England by ship as ballast. Features in the Captain Elisha White House are a colonial herb garden and 19th century American portraits.

The Clinton Historical Society Library contains a wealth of primary and secondary sources pertaining to local history, genealogy and with late 18th and 19th century furnishings within the rooms. Old Brick is located at 103 East Main Street in Clinton.

The Clinton Historical Society Museum in Andrews Memorial Town Hall chronicles Clinton’s history through artifacts, photographs, video, and hands-on activities in the exhibit “Clinton: Pathway to a Town.” Changing exhibits highlight interesting town stories and items in the Society’s collection.
