The Clinton Liberal Institute was a coeducational preparatory school. The Universalist Church started it in Clinton, New York in 1831. The school moved to Fort Plain, New York in 1878, and it stayed there until it was destroyed in a fire in 1900. Clara Barton, the founder of the American Red Cross, and Leland Stanford, founder of Stanford University went to the Clinton Liberal Institute.
