Take a tour of the beautiful E. Howard tower clock in the Haydenville Congregational Church. Human powered! 19th century engineering at its finest! A tradition in town for more than 120 years, the clock is something that practically everyone has heard — but few have ever seen. That this clock is still alive & ticking in such excellent original condition is something Haydenville should be proud of.

Collin Black, the father of Penelope Black, the most recent clock minder/winder, made a video illustrating the weekly winding. Watch it here: Winding the Tower Clock
