Get to Know Clinton

Even if you’ve never been to Clinton, you’ve probably seen the town’s two historic mills with a waterfall in between, as the scenic spot is one of New Jersey’s most photographed locations. The site, with the Red Mill on the one side of the Raritan River, and a stone mill on the other side, is the most famous destination in town, but the rest of Clinton is equally picture-postcard perfect. Downtown is lined with quaint boutiques and cafes, while the blocks of stately Colonial, Victorian, and Italianate houses look straight out of a storybook. In fact, every year, Clinton hosts Dickens’ Days, a holiday weekend celebration that transforms the whole town into a Victorian village with local choirs caroling and a lighting of the town tree. Clinton proper is surrounded by the larger, exurban Clinton Township, which offers a more varied mix of new construction and rural estates.

Living in the Delaware River Towns

The Delaware River winds between New Jersey and Pennsylvania, serving as the dividing line between the two states. Ever since 1776, when George Washington crossed from today’s Bucks County, Pennsylvania, into today’s Mercer County, New Jersey, the two sides of this middle stretch of river have been tied together. Today, locals drive, bike, and walk — and sometimes, like Washington himself, boat — across the Delaware with frequent regularity, treating the two sides as one region. There’s a smattering of delightful little towns situated on both sides of the river that were founded as stops between New York and Philadelphia, during the heyday of the railroads and the Delaware and Raritan Canal. In the past few decades, the towns have experienced a renaissance as city dwellers have realized that just an hour’s drive leads to this bucolic region with world-class dining and shopping, rolling farmland, and gorgeous, historic houses.
