Clinton Museum
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008 by GetawayBC.com
The Clinton Museum holds a variety of antiques, photos and historical papers that will take the visitor back to a time long ago. The building was built in 1892 from locally hand-made bricks. The clay for the bricks was taken from a site where the high school now stands.
The building was a school itself until 1925, then a courthouse until 1955 where Judge Matthew Begbie (the infamous Hanging Judge) held court. The new courthouse was built next door and the brick building was taken over by the Museum Society in 1956.;
