Experience a period in Pennsylvania's history when time moved at a slower pace. Small family farms dotted the landscape and German was heard frequently in conversation.

Explore the life of local clockmakers such as George and John Hoff, John Conrad Heinselman and Jacob and Christian Eby. Discover how 18th and 19th century clock movements work through hands-on activities. Elements that exemplify the Pennsylvania German style will also be explored.

Tall case clocks and watches from the museum’s collection will be featured along with other domestic items common in Pennsylvania German homes. Visitors will have the rare opportunity to see some clocks in operation.

This special exhibit is free to the public.
