The Oechsle Clock Collection
On View September 16 in Adirondack Hall
Step into a world where every tick tells a tale. Following the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, clockmakers flourished along its path, leaving behind a legacy of craftsmanship and commerce. Now, visitors can see six remarkable examples from The Oechsle Clock Collection, a gathering of more than 80 clocks from the 1800s to early 1900s.
On view are ingenious creations such as Theodore R. Timby’s solar clock and Andrew Van Woert Strait’s advertising clock, alongside works by other celebrated and overlooked makers. Thanks to the dedication of Russell and Janet Oechsle, these stories of time are preserved for discovery and study.
