Thank you to everyone who visited, crafted, snacked, sang along, and spent time with us during our “Christmas in Clinton” Open House on December 6th. “You all truly made the day one of the best we've had to date,” notes Adam Stanton House & General Store President Jess Acetta.

Thank you to the Chester Fife & Drum Corps for bringing music back into the Adam Stanton House and then moving on to help Santa light the Christmas tree at the Town hall. Thank you Clinton Placemakers for organizing and including the museum in this year’s events. And Thank you Clinton Arbor Garden Club for the special touches that made the museum come alive with holiday greenery and artful floral arrangements.

Special thanks to the “Propper Debauchery” musicians and to those who attended our 6 pm “Dickens by Candlelight” event at St. Mary’s church. Please kjeep an eye out for our new concert series at the museum in 2026! 

“We couldn't be more proud of the incredible work done by the Board of Directors and volunteers to make the museum YOUR home for the holidays,” says Accetta.

The museum Board of Directors would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy New Year 2026!

The Adam Stanton House and General Store was built in 1791 by a wealthy, striving merchant-businessman whose entrepreneurial spirit and extraordinary taste can be seen in every aspect of this unique house museum. Filled with clothing, furnishings, documents, and store inventory all belonging to the original Stanton family, the house provides a glimpse into 18th and 19th century life in a privileged New England family home. In 1916, the house was left in trust by Adam Stanton's heirs to become a house museum. It has been open to the public ever since.  Adam Stanton House, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3).
