The David Ames Clock Farm is home to a rare E. Howard Steeple Clock—one of only 3,000 in the entire country. Installed in 1870, this historic clock once called farmhands in from the 60 acres of surrounding fields. It still chimes every 15 minutes and is manually crank-wound by our Facilities team every five days. The clock was last refurbished in 2004, and right now, its intricate inner workings are undergoing a full restoration to bring it back to its original glory.
