Every Timepiece Tells A Story - Clock & Watchmaking Presentation

Join us for a presentation on the clock & watchmaking industries of Connecticut's past. Guests will discover the impact of Connecticut manufacturing and the importance of timepieces as historical artifacts and generational family heirlooms. Two Noah Webster-related timepieces will be featured, including Webster’s New Haven-made tall case clock and a pocket watch (c. 1825) on loan to the museum that was gifted from Noah to his son William.
