About Forest

Set among the open fields of Clinton County, Forest is a quiet rural community with deep roots and a relaxed pace. The town started back in the 1870s as a humble railroad stop, where local lore says the very first train tickets were sold straight off a tree stump. While the trains have long since moved on, Forest keeps that easygoing, small-town atmosphere, making it a great spot for anyone looking for quiet country roads, starry skies, and plenty of room to breathe.
