New England colonial home in Worcester County in fall

Life in Clinton, MA

Clinton is a compact mill town on the Nashua River, next to the Wachusett Dam and Reservoir. It is home to Fuller Field, certified by Guinness as the oldest ballpark in continuous use, and to The Icon Museum and Study Center. Downtown High Street has a busy mix of local restaurants, bars and small shops.

Clinton was incorporated as its own town on March 14, 1850, after splitting from Lancaster. Brothers Erastus and Horatio Bigelow built the town around their carpet mills, and Horatio N. Bigelow donated the land for Central Park in 1852. Work on the Wachusett Dam began in 1897, and the reservoir finished filling in 1908. Clinton feels like a walkable small town with a real downtown, parks on nearly every side of the center, and long running traditions like Olde Home Days. It draws commuters who want a town center, water views and access to central Massachusetts highways.
