Timepiece Tales- A Clock Event presented in conjunction with the Webster Museum In-Person
Join us as we view multiple timepieces, clocks, pocket watches and related ephemera while you learn about clock making in the US from 1780-1929. Garth will walk through the collection, showing how the progression of clock making represents the progression of American History over the course of the last 150 years. On the walk-through history, Garth will match clocks with specific historical events. Almost everyone has a clock/watch story, clocks that tell a story and these stories are important to us as a family, community and country.
Garth is the past president of the American Baptist Historical Society in Atlanta, Georgia and Historian at the Fairport Baptist Homes caring Ministries amongst others. His collection began when he inherited several family clocks from his father and grandfather over forty years ago.
Looking forward to this presentation presented in conjunction with the Webster Museum. Hope to see you here!
