Exhibits
The W.C.C.W.M. exhibit resembles a
19th Century clock maker's shop. Visitors are amazed at the scope of
the collection and the examples of craftsmanship in each timepiece. The
collection currently showcases hundreds of clocks and watches, some of
which are their only know examples. The exhibit is popular with youth
and senior groups. In the first
year of operation, the exhibit had over 100,000 visitors.
Included
in the exhibit are some fine examples of statue clocks, case clocks,
regulators, American and European examples. The curator has attempted
to include at least one example of each advancement in the science of
timekeeping. As design and material improvements were made, so too was
accuracy and dependability.
Each piece in the exhibit has
been donated by members of the supporting chapter. Please contact the
curator regarding special loans or limited displays as the Museum will
host timepieces from around the world. Any upcoming events will be
posted in News.
The exhibits include information kiosks. The
kiosks are designed to be an interactive resource for you or your group
members. For youth or school groups, we are more than happy to include
a scavenger guide and questionnaire, to help direct their attention
