Join us for a fascinating trip back in time. Learn about American clock & watchmaking with particular emphasis on Connecticut, once the clock capital of the United States. The museum holds one of the largest displays of American clocks and watches in the world, over 5,500! As visitors travel through the museum’s eight galleries, these timekeeping devices chime and strike upon the hour. Located in the historic Federal Hill district of Bristol, a portion of the museum is housed in an 1801 Federal-style home with a sundial garden.
Mantels for the Season
- a new holiday tradition at the American Clock & Watch Museum
Beginning on Friday, November 16th, the Museum will present Mantels for the Season, a new event marking the start of the holiday season. Pier 1, Artificial Flower Shop, Wojtusik Nursery & Garden Center, Inc., The Inside Story, and the Friends of the Bristol Animal Shelter are among the local retailers and businesses that will be creating seasonal displays in the museum.
Whimsical fireplace mantels, festive tablescapes, and cozy corners will be set throughout the museum’s eight galleries. Each space will be festooned with seasonal décor and timepieces from the museum’s collection that provide a focal point for each display.
Mantels for the Season is included with museum admission, and can be seen during normal business hours from Friday, November 16th through Sunday, December 2nd.
