Welcome to Clinton County, IN!

I was once asked, why Indiana? The full context of the question was during a conversation regarding where a person chooses to live. I had shared that I was the son of a pipefitter/welder and we traveled all over the country because of dad’s work. We enjoyed the warmth of the south to the crisp mountain air of the west and everywhere in between. When I left home the sky was the limit regarding where I would eventually call home. After traveling the country with a music group and spending over two years on the road, I was introduced to Indiana. No mountains, no oceans, no incredible entertainment venues unless you are a race enthusiast, thus the question, why Indiana? The quick and simple answer is the people. Not to be sappy or corny, which Indiana has plenty of, corn that is, I am quite sincere when I say the good folks of the Hoosier state is the best attraction.

Maybe it is because Indiana is the heart of our great country or maybe it is all that corn bending to the prairie winds that create such a strong work ethic, because the chores on the farm are never done. Regardless of what makes the people great, it is the people of Indiana that makes Indiana great. Snuggled right in the middle of all this greatness is Clinton County.

Like Indiana it is the people of Clinton County that attract so many like me to live, work and play here. Clinton County and the County Seat Frankfort offers outstanding opportunities in education, careers and continues to grow the type of amenities that draw people to call this place home. As you peruse the next several pages of this community profile, I pray you are inspired by the pictures and motivated by the stories. There is just something about Indiana and especially Clinton County that simply calls us home. We certainly hope you feel at home with us here in Clinton County, where we love to live, work and play!
