Leaving Virginia after a week with family, we stopped in Elizabethtown, PA, for a week. The idea was to spend time in Amish country, relaxing for a week. Within a day though, we had several activities planned.
Our first stop was the clock museum. The National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors has a museum in Columbia, PA. They have over 13,000 items and currently display about 3% of their collection.
The sound is what strikes you first. The gentle tick tock of the clocks somehow calms. Then you start noticing the different movements. Pendulums, plates, clock hands, and gears all run with precise movements.
Different and impressive, this museum is definitely worth a stop when you're in the area.
