COLUMBIA, PA: If you haven’t taken the time to register to vote, The National Watch and Clock Museum is giving you time and free admission to go with it! On Thursday, September 18, from 1 to 4 p.m., representatives from the League of Women Voters will be in the rotunda of the Museum to sign up voters, and those who register will enjoy a complimentary visit to the Museum.
While visiting the Museum, new voters are especially encouraged to check out one of the special collections currently on exhibit. Adorned with red, white, and blue swags, banners, and flags in honor of this presidential year, the Museum is proudly presenting Time in Office: An Exhibit of Presidential Timepieces. Watches, clocks, images, stories and memorabilia of many U.S. presidents show their views about time and significant events during their time in office. This one-of-a-kind exhibit includes many timepieces and memorabilia that have been brought together for the first time in one museum, and some of the objects have never before left their home museums.
The National Watch and Clock Museum is operated by the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, Inc., a nonprofit 501(c)(3) association with approximately 23,000 members, representing 55 countries. April through November the Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. Summer hours also include Monday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. December through March hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Discounts are available to seniors, students, AAA members, and groups of 10 or more. Groups of 10 or more are encouraged to call ahead. For more program information, directions, or general Museum information, call 717-684-8261 or visit our website at www.nawcc.org.
