It’s About Time Exhibit Opening Reception at the Old Courthouse Museum

Much of our lives depend on time. What time should we meet? What time is the party? What time do we have to be there? All these questions are centered around time, but how do we make sure we’re on time? Timekeeping devices have been around for 3,000 years, and clocks have been around for about 700 of those years. Early clocks were useful but inaccurate, and sometimes they could be off by nearly an hour! Now clocks are capable of being accurate down to hundredths of a second.
How have clocks changed? What were some of the most popular American clockmaker brands? When did people start using pocket watches and wristwatches? Find the answers to these questions and more in It’s About Time, our latest exhibit at the Old Courthouse Museum. Join us for the opening reception of It’s About Time on April 16th from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Admission is free.
