I loved reading this, Ruth—What history! Beautifully written and the clock is WOW! I’m sure its story will continue for another hundred years and beyond.

Thanks for reading and commenting, Jolene! It was a slight departure from food writing but fun to go off track once in a while. 🥰

Glad I got to see this historic clock and now hear the story behind it. How great to dust off your memories of family stories because of the clock. It's absolutely beautiful and I love how you have rediscovered it and explored new details. I hope you find someone in the family to bequeath it to, but if not, maybe some historical group or museum would give it a good home for centuries to come.

Thanks so much, Patricia! I hope so too—and I’m honored that you and Chris were the first to see it back in ticking order!💕
