Does anyone know why the Time Museum in Rockford, Illinois was closed? Their web site doesn't explain.
Thanks, Tom ----------------- Formerly located within the Best Western Clock Tower Resort & Conference Center in Rockford, Illinois USA., The Time Museum, an international collection of time-measuring devices, was open to the public for almost 30 years. It was closed in March, 1999. Collection The idea behind The Time Museum was to illustrate the most significant technical developments in the history of time measurement. Included in the 1,500-object collection were sundials, nocturnals, water clocks, sand-glasses, chronometers, and astronomical regulators as well as domestic clocks and watches. Most time-measuring devices in the collection dated from the 17th- through 19th- centuries and were European or British in origin. The American section focused upon clocks from Colonial times through about 1870 and watches from the 1850's through about 1920 http://www.timemuseum.com/
