The National Watch & Clock Museum in Columbia, Pa., has extended its special exhibit, S-Town Exquisite Clocks, to run three more months due to continued public interest. The exhibit will be up until July 31. Home to North Americas largest collection of clocks, watches, and horological artifacts, the National Watch & Clock Museum is honored to exhibit examples showcasing the talent of John B. McLemore, the focus of the acclaimed podcast S-Town from the makers of Serial and This American Life. Brian Reed, host and executive producer of the S-Town podcast, said, Clocks were Johns livelihood, but they were also the lynchpin of some of his most important relationships. The exhibit is a celebration of Johns technical and artistic skill: an homage to this incredible lifes work and the lasting impact he had on his field. More than just the inspiration for the well-known S-Town podcast, which riveted millions of listeners when it broadcast in 2017, McLemore was a highly accomplished clockmaker who restored fine clocks back to their full splendor. He was particular about the way that he worked and carefully replicated historical methods to ensure the accuracy of his work. His commitment to that accuracy may well have cost McLemore his life; he used fire-gilding to apply gold to his clocks. The old method produces beautiful results, but it relies on melting mercury with gold and produces extremely toxic mercury vapors. Years of breathing that poisonous gas likely took its toll. The exhibit, however, is a celebration of John B. McLemores life and work. The exhibit of McLemores workmanship at the National Watch & Clock Museum provides an inspiring representation of one mans passion for preserving horological history for the next generation, said executive director Rory McEvoy. The National Watch & Clock Museum houses approximately 13,000 timepieces, many of which are the most culturally and historically valuable examples of their type in the world. The museum is run by the nonprofit National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors Inc., whose nearly 10,000 members come from the U.S. and countries around the world. The museum is located at 514 Poplar St., Columbia, Pa., and is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.museum.nawcc.org or call 717-684-8261.
