John A. Stanton Memorial |
John A. Stanton Memorial in Clinton was built by Adam Stanton, c. 1789-1791. He moved to Clinton from Rhode Island during the Revolutionary War to distill salt for rebel forces. The house today is maintained as a museum of American antiques and illustrates both home and general store, c. 1790. It is also the original site of Yale's first classroom. Almost all the furnishings are original.
