LOCK HAVEN, PA – Leadership Clinton County participants had the opportunity to learn about the rich history in Clinton County recently. Their lesson included touring the Heisey House Museum, Poorman Gallery and ice house; the Clinton Central Model Railroad club which features their layout of model trains and railroad memorabilia; a 1941 vintage restored caboose; the historical kiosk at the Castanea Train Station; and the Piper Aviation Museum.
