Welcome to the Village of
Clinton
e are located just 1 mile from Interstate 43, only 15 minutes from the Cities of Beloit and Janesville, and within an hour and one half of Madison, Milwaukee and Chicago. Clinton is a great place to visit and best of all a great place to raise your family. Once you have spent time here, you will have a soft spot in your heart for Clinton. We invite you to come and experience the “hometown” feeling of our small village. While there are plenty of newer residents in our Village, you will always run into someone who has lived in Clinton a long time. Clinton’s residents are the true heart of this community. It’s a place that even after someone moves, they still call Clinton home. The Village of Clinton’s annual community events like “The Taste of Clinton” held Father’s Day weekend and “Winter Wonderland” parade and activities held the first Friday of December - provide fun and entertainment for all ages. We invite you to stop and visit us anytime: to enjoy a hike along the Pelishek-Tiffany Nature Trail, to visit one of our parks, fine schools or active library. Best of all, we have some great restaurants where you are sure to find a resident to welcome you and talk about Clinton - their hometown. Historic interests include our Cobblestone House (stop and see their new brick sidewalk) and our 1895 water tower. We have many active businesses including manufacturing and professional offices (finance, healthcare, insurance and realty) along with retail shops that serve their customers with that caring and neighborly feel! Village staff is always available to answer questions or to assist you (6765304). Clinton prides itself on people working together!

The Clinton Senior Center started as the Clinton Senior Citizens Club in February 1963. The Clinton Senior Center has grown to be a wonderful place for area senior citizens. We offer a wide variety of activities and services for seniors and people of all ages. We are a Rock County Golden Dinner Station. We provide daily noontime meals for people at the center and to the homebound. We always look forward to meeting new people. Volunteers are always welcome. Prices are $4 for those over the age of 60 and $10 for those under 60. We also provide multiple opportunities for recreational activities. There is too much to mention. Just a little taste of what we do offer is weekly games, two types of book clubs, a crafting session, trips, and monthly birthday parties. We also have a pool table for a quick friendly game of billiards. The center also provides fun day trips to places around Southern Wisconsin such as the Fireside or Lake Geneva. We do ask for advanced sign up and a small donation for most trips. Another important role for us at the Senior Center is special health and information
