Clinton, Missouri, is a Norman Rockwell painting come to life in the 21st century.

Nestled along the shores of a peaceful lake, Clinton is a quiet town that celebrates its rich history. At the center of the city is Missouri’s largest historic downtown square, home to more than 100 quaint retail shops and businesses.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Clinton sits on the western edge of the longest developed rail trail in the country. The Katy Trail stretches for more than 200 miles from Clinton to St. Louis.

Clinton is just 60 minutes from Kansas City and a short two-hour drive to Springfield and Branson for live music, plays, amusement parks and restaurants galore!
