The Clinton Historical Society summer exhibit features a look at early farming and farm family life in Clinton and Dutchess County before electricity and tractors arrived.

** Highlights **
* Over 120 vintage images with captions
* 40 early farm-related artifacts
* horse-drawn antique farm implements
The exhibit is open every Saturday and Sunday in July, from 1-4pm.
