Old
Town Clock Museum
Since
1872, the original mechanical clockworks that serve as the
centerpiece of this museum have been keeping time in Rome's
most
famous landmark, the Old Town Clock. The City Clock, as the
tower is popularly know, houses a 250,000 gallon water
tank
that once served the residents of Rome. The restoration of the
clockworks and the transformation of the water tank into a
museum
are the result of the joint efforts of the Rome Jaycees and the City
of Rome.
This tablet placed by the Rome Jaycees April 1995.
