At the Narragansett Historical Society is a collection that will take a visitor back in time. The society houses an exhibit of 11 different timekeepers, clocks and watches from a bygone era. “We have grandfather clocks, steeple clocks, which are usually on a mantle or desk, tower clocks which run the dials in a church steeple, and time clocks to keep track of employees as they start their day,” said Curator and President of the Historical Society, Brian Tanguay.
