“America's largest timekeeping collection”

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. The latest expansion opened in October 1999 and featured an entirely new and redesigned exhibit space, as well as a new two-story addition. Today, the museum is recognized as the largest and most comprehensive horological collection in North America.

Aaaaaaaamazing! I want to go back! I didn't know what to expect from this place, but everything there is beautiful and interesting. I wish they had more information, but my head may have exploded trying to read it all.

Rated 5.0

The National Watch and Clock Museum is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and science of timekeeping. With more than 13,000 timepieces on display, it is the largest collection of its kind in North America. The museum features timepieces from all eras and cultures, including a German table clock from 1570.

Visitors can watch the clocks and watches in action, marvel at the intricate mechanics inside, and gain a new appreciation for the artistry and science of timekeeping.

We think a visit here is one of the best things to do in Lancaster, PA!
