The National Watch and Clock Museum was officially opened to the public in 1977 with fewer than 1,000 items.

Since that time, the collection has increased to over 12,000 items and the museum has undergone several expansion projects.

Today, the museum is recognized as the largest and most comprehensive horological collection in North America.

The Museum collection is international in scope and covers a wide variety of clocks, watches, tools, and other time-related items.

Chronologically, the exhibits take you on a tour through the entire history of timekeeping technology from early non-mechanical devices to today's atomic and radio-controlled clocks.
