National Watch and Clock Museum

The Museum collection is international in scope and covers a wide variety of clocks, watches, tools and other time related items. The main focus of the collection is on nineteenth century American clocks and watches. However, additional collections include early English Tall case clocks, Asian timepieces from Japan and China, and timekeeping devices from Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Russia. Chronologically, the exhibits take visitors on a tour through the entire history of timekeeping technology from early non-mechanical devices to todays atomic and radio controlled clocks. Special temporary exhibits are also a part of the museum experience. Previous exhibits have examined military timekeeping, fine timepieces from around the world, and American Tall case clocks.
