Honoring Our Heroes: The Revolutionary Memorial Garden Walk
On August 8, 2026, step back in time with the Clinton Historical Society as we honor the profound sacrifices made by our earliest community members during the American Revolution. At the time of the Revolutionary War, Clinton and Killingworth were unified as one community. From our coastal soil, brave individuals answered the call to service—and 19 young men never returned home.
