Title

Clifton - Detwiler House

Description

On the Placard: Samuel Detwiler lived in this house in 1905 when he was the town liveryman. With the demise of the horse and buggy, he and his son Frank began a dairy farm. Their barn was located where the Post Office now stands. Each day they would herd their cows down Main St. to a pasture on the other side of the railroad tracks. The dairy flourished until 1949. This house was renovated in 1985 and again in 2013.
