Early New England Clockmakers and the Willard Legacy
Benjamin Cheney and his brother Timothy helped found American clockmaking starting in 18th century Hartford. The Willard brothers spread the craft from Grafton to Roxbury and Boston, shaping tower and banjo clocks and inspiring the Old Sturbridge Village collection donated by J. Cheney Wells. Connecticut and New England clocks evolved from handmade tall clocks to mass produced mantel pieces via Eli Terry and Seth Thomas.
