Antique Clinton

OK, OK, so this isn't a post about "antique Clinton", but rather about some interesting antiques in Clinton. However, there is a wild west, cowboy sort of antique feel to the village of Clinton.

I've felt that way since I first saw the town back in 1958 (or was it 1959?) when I was a little lad. At that time  I fell in love with how it looked just like the towns in all the Hollywood Westerns. Not much has changed; the history remains fascinating. On our last visit, April 2013, we spent some time poking around the numerous antique shops in the area. Poke around these shops, and you'll get a flavour of the Western movie.
