The Town of Clifton Park, together with the Historic Preservation Commission, is committed to protecting and preserving the Town’s history. The Clifton Park Historic Preservation Commission is a volunteer body appointed by the Town Board with the purpose of preserving and enhancing Clifton Park’s historic resources. They provide technical assistance to owners of historic properties, advise the Town Board and Planning Board on matters of preservation and educate the residents of Clifton Park on the treasures of their heritage. The Commission meets at Historic Grooms Tavern at 7:00 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month. Town residents interested in serving on the Commission can contact us at parksrec@cliftonpark.org.
