An exhibition developed by Kroeger Clocks Heritage Foundation in partnership with the Mennonite Heritage Village.
Keeping Time: The Art and Heritage of Mennonite Clocks, provides an in-depth look into the craft and art of Mennonite clocks made in Europe and transported by immigrants to the Americas over the last two centuries. Beautiful in and of themselves, each clock also has an important story to tell about its owners and their experiences of migration.
