Clinton is lovely Hunterdon County village located along the southern edge of the beautiful Raritan River. Despite its picturesque scenery, the town is actually best known for its reported haunted historic attractions, including the 10-acre 1810 Red Mill Museum Village, which was featured on the television series Ghost Hunters.

Living history exhibits are showcased throughout the museum complex, including a replica quarry building, a one-room schoolhouse, and an historic log cabin. Each year, the museum complex hosts the annual Red Mill Haunted Village Halloween celebration, paying tribute to its haunted reputation. Across the river, the Hunterdon Historical Museum is home to a massive collection of cultural artifacts related to the city's history, while the Hunterdon Art Museum showcases contemporary craft exhibits. Downtown, visitors can enjoy a plethora of shopping and dining opportunities.
