The American experience of time has changed drastically in two hundred years. This exhibit chronicled the American experience of time in the 18th and 19th centuries through the various clocks produced at that time and the individuals who produced them. The exhibit also highlighted the museum’s Seth Thomas Clock Company tower clock which is over 100 years old and was running at the time of the exhibit with its original weights. More information on our tower clock can be found on our website here.
