The Henry County Museum is located at Washington and Franklin, on the Northwest corner of the Historic Square District. It comprises four major sections:
Built in the 1850s, the historic Dorman House, is one of the oldest in Clinton and one of only seven listings on the National Register of Historic Places in Henry County.

Owned by Clinton Main Street, Inc., the Dorman House was purchased in 1997 to avoid demolition. Restoration has taken seven years and many documents and photos found in the house were helpful in that process. The house is now available for public tours, and funds from the tours are used for maintenance and upkeep.
Plan to visit the Dorman House during Olde Glory Days this year and sample our community's heritage.
A longstanding tradition, the Sunday morning community worship service continues this year, sponsored by the Clinton Ministerial Alliance. The service begins at 7:15 a.m. on the Courthouse lawn.
