As we begin planning next year’s Clermont Historical Society calendar and continue growing our digital library, we would love your help preserving the stories that make our community special.

Do you have memories, photographs, family stories, newspaper clippings, or local history connected to Clermont and the surrounding area? Whether it’s a story about a longtime business, school days, community events, farming, churches, veterans, or everyday life in our town - we want to hear from you!

These stories help preserve Clermont’s history for future generations and may even be featured in our upcoming calendar or digital archives.

Please email submissions, memories, or questions to [email protected].

And we thank you for helping us keep Clermont’s history alive, one story at a time!
