Downtown Clinton Self-Guided Walking Tour

The Downtown Clinton Commercial Historic District is located in the heart of Downtown Clinton and is Nationally recognized by the National Register of Historic Places.  The District is bordered by Vance Street to the North, Elizabeth Street the South, Fayetteville and Wall Streets to the West, and Sampson Street to the East.  The buildings in the District were all generally constructed in the early 20th century after a devastating fire burned most of the commercial district in 1902.   The Downtown Clinton Commercial Historic District is like a time capsule of historic pre-war architecture and it’s continued use and investment shows the pride the people of Clinton and Sampson County have in their history.
