    The Clewiston Inn is located in downtown Clewiston, Florida. Billed as “America’s Sweetest Town,” Clewiston is in the heart of sugar cane country and is rich with history.

    Today, the Clewiston Inn, registered as a National Historic Site, preserves its history and offers visitors an opportunity to step back in time with genuine Old Florida hospitality. For decades, the Clewiston Inn has been a popular vacation destination and a fashionable center for social activities.

Clinton Shepherd in the early 1940s. Shepherd, who spent many months at the Inn, majestically transferred to oil and canvas the beauty of the ‘glades.
