Century Farms
According to the 1976 "History of Clinton County" by the CC Historical Society (pp. 554-55), the farms listed here have been in Clinton County for at least one hundred years. If you have anything to add or know where I can get a more current list, please contact us . I found an updated list of Century Farms current thru 2016.
