Clinton!

Clinton
Landmark #37 Amador County Visited: May 9, 2015 Plaque?  YES! 🙂
What is it? An engraved stone marker by the side of the road!
What makes it historical? THE GUIDE SAYS: Clinton was the center of a placer mining community during the 1850s and of quartz mining as late as the 1880s. This town once decided Amador County elections as its votes were always counted last.

OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up!

Where is this place? LISTED DIRECTIONS:
Intersection of E Clinton and Clinton Rd
1.0 mi SE of State Hwy 88
3.2 mi SW of Pine Grove, CA 95642

ANNOTATIONS:
You can also look at it as the intersection of Clinton Road and Ponderosa Way, because this crossing is pretty mixed up! The marker is pretty hard to spot, because it’s so low to the ground, so I recommend parking nearby and walking to this intersection!
