As part of its new Community Cultural Program, the National Watch & Clock Museum is excited to participate in Columbia’s 4th Friday program. 

On May 24 the theme is Honoring Our Heroes, and the Museum will host a presentation on “The War-Winning History of the Hamilton Watch Co.” by Michael Schwartz, associate editor of Museum publications. 

Join us this Friday from 5:00 to 5:30 pm to learn how this famous Lancaster company pushed the boundaries of technology and manufacturing to make some of the devices that helped the Allies win the war.

Attendees are welcome to leave their cars parked on our lot as they visit other businesses in downtown Columbia.
