Clifton Baptist Church Complex is a historic church and school complex which is virtually the only remnant of the historic African-American hamlet of Clifton, Kentucky, a community formed after the American Civil War. The church and the school were built in 1886. Other contributing resources in the complex are a dining hall, a privy, a cemetery, a plank fence and a rock fence.[2] The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
