Lunchtime Lecture: Clock-making in Early America

The Curator of our current exhibit, “Revolutionary Revolutions: Clocks and Industry in Early America,” will speak about the widespread success of American-made shelf clocks in the 19th-century and the interrelated forces of technological convenience, comfort, taste, and affordability that drive the consumer habits of a middle class, then and now. Bring your lunch. Tea, conversation, exhibit, and optional Museum tour included.

Free with admission. Free for Museum Members.
