Ticking at the Kitsap County Historical Society Museum?

West Coast Clock & Watch Museum Exhibits Military Clocks.

11-023-05 -- In Washington today, The West Coast Clock & Watch Museum announced that they will be sponsoring a special exhibit of clocks and horological items at the Kitsap County Historical Society Museum in Bremerton WA from January 6th through September 16th.  

Housed in a room at the court house, the Kitsap County Historical Society Museum was opened by the newly-formed Society in 1949 with only a small display of historic items gathered from the citizens of the county. Over the following years, in order to meet the needs of Kitsap's growing population and growing museum, the Historical Society purchased a larger building in downtown Bremerton at 280 Fourth Street, in the center of the Arts District.

The Museum is open daily, except for major federal holidays, and is handicapped accessible.  The Archives are open by appointment and are used by a varied group of researchers, including authors, students, government personnel, local citizens and tribal groups.

The focus of the West Coast Clock and Watch Museum exhibit will be on U.S. Navy themed timepieces and timekeepers as a part of day-to-day life in the Pacific Northwest through the early part of the 20th century. 

Admission to the Museum and the West Coast Clock & Watch exhibit is $2.00 for Adults; $1.00 for seniors; free for children under 18 and museum members. The hours of operation are Tuesday - Saturday, 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. (open until 8:00 p.m. on the first Friday of each month.) More information and directions to the special West Coast Clock & Watch Museum exhibit can be found on the Kitsap County Historical Society Museum's website at www.kitsaphistory.org
