SUMMARY:Historic Bishop Family Clock Returns to Nova Scotia - Installation
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Kings Historical Society as we welcome Stephen Sieracki\, a Maryland based horologist (clock specialist)\, who will permanently install a historic clock in the Kings County Museum. \nThe clock\, a significant Planter artifact and a rare example of early clockmaking in Nova Scotia\, is returning home after 200 years. It was crafted in Horton Township in the late 1700s by John Bishop and given to his daughter\, Ameila\, upon her wedding to Charles Dickson\, of Horton in 1772. \nSince 1772\, the Bishop Clock\, a remarkable example of early Nova Scotian ingenuity and woodworking\, has found itself in many different homes and\, most recently\, in Annapolis\, Maryland where it has been taken care of by descendants of John Bishop. The clock will return home to Nova Scotia in July\, accompanied by Stephen Sieracki\, and find a new home at the Kings County Museum where it will be preserved for generations to come. \nOn July 12th\, 2025\, the clock will be installed in a permanent exhibit which will pay tribute to the Bishiop family\, the Bishop family clock\, and the planter legacy of Kings County. This installation will include reinstalling the Bishop Clock mechanisms (which will have been removed for safe transport). Stephan Sieracki will also be giving a talk on 18th-century clocks\, including specific details and research on the Bishop Clock\, and demonstrations. Q&A session to follow presentation. \nFor more information\, please contact info@kingscountymuseum.ca or call the Museum at 1-902-678-6237
