Historical Resources
Clermont State Historic Site holds a multitude
of historical resources. Some of these items are developed by
the current museum staff at Clermont and include Livingston fact

the primary documents from the Livingston family. Only a small
sampling is shown here. Other items include tenant farm rent books,
18th century leases, early 20th century garden literature, 19th
and 20th century photographs, 19th century letters, childrens’
books, prints, paintings and old local maps. Click on the images
