Westclox Museum
The museum is dedicated to the preservation and displaying of collections of products, documents, photos, antiques and history of the Westclox Company.
Educational Center
The Westclox Museum provides a wealth of information for all ages, through our displays, reference library and the knowledge of our museum curator and volunteers in regards to the history of the Westclox Factory and the people who once worked there. We are happy to arrange special visits for school groups and organizations. To make arrangements go to Information.
Westclox Exhibit
The Westclox Museum collections range from different models of Westclox clocks through the century, including the well-recognized Big Ben and Baby Ben clocks, to a vast assortment of photos, tools-of-the-trade and reference materials. The collection came to fruition thanks to donations from private collectors, former employees and individuals who wanted to help the museum preserve memories of Westclox and the people who made it what it once was – the largest manufacturer of key-wound clocks in the world!
Our current collection:
Westclox clocks
Reference Library
