About

Without traffic lights or a direct postal service, Clifton remains an enchanting relic of a time past. Functioning a few decades behind the rest of the world, Clifton’s façade is composed of houses that are almost all over one hundred and twenty years old.

White picket fences line the main street, rustic lanterns, and barrels full of flowers adorn the small hub of town. Featuring a handful of shops—a general store, florist, and antique collector—Clifton’s economy has not developed much since its founding days as a small railroad station.
