Step back in time with a visit to the American Clock & Watch Museum, Inc. Located in America’s great clockmaking city, Bristol, Connecticut, the museum and its research library are housed in the 1801 home of Miles Lewis, the historic Ebenezer Barnes wing and the modern Edward Ingraham wing. An authentic early American sundial garden complete with period herbs and flowers adds seasonal beauty to the museum's grounds.
As you travel through our unique gallery spaces, you will discover the finest American clocks and watches on display. The ticking, striking and chiming of the timepieces will be a treat to your eyes and ears. Of particular interest is our gateway exhibit, "Connecticut Clockmaking and the Industrial Revolution," which tells the story of a young man’s dream and its impact on the clock industry and the American system of manufacture.
One of our visitors’ favorite displays is our two-story tower clock that provides a close-up look at what makes a clock "tick". Recognized as the first museum in America to be devoted to horology, the American Clock & Watch Museum, Inc. houses the finest collection of American manufactured clocks on display.
Take time to discover the treasures we have to offer; plan a visit to our facility soon!
