“Clinton is nestled in the hills of Hunterdon County, New Jersey. It is the quintessential American small town that has brought movie producers and visitors here for years. A charming historic shopping area, cherry tree lined streets and a river meandering through it makes Clinton a picture perfect hamlet.”

This is how you read on brochures ads attracting visitors and it only takes one visit and you will fall in love with this town. Honest!

I believe it one of the most beautiful towns I’ve seen that I can remember.

They have preserved much of their quaint town antiquity even included to their amenities is a perfect recreation acted by locals of events previous to the independence and life as it happened in that period. It’s quite interesting!

What will impress the most is the natural beauty of the surroundings, the river, lake, luscious vegetation and manicured green areas.

If you ever have a chance to visit this town, I assure you’ll love it! 🙂
