Heritage Commission to present program on Kona Farm barn tower clock 11/18/2009

The Moultonborough Heritage Commission will present a program on the recent restoration of the Kona Farm barn tower clock on Wednesday, November 18th at 7 PM at the Moultonborough Public Library.

For the new Community Landmarks Series, David Livingston of Laconia will speak on his restoration of the 1905 E. Howard Company striking tower clock formerly in the landmark Kona Farm barn on Moultonborough Neck.  Dr. Livingston will discuss the history and significance of the E. Howard Company of Boston, and show images of other Howard tower clocks in the Lakes Region.  Most tower clocks were installed in churches, stations, and municipal buildings, and only a limited number in country estate stables or barns such as the one at Kona Farm.

The Community Landmarks Series is intended to promote the recognition and appreciation of significant historical and cultural resources in the Town of Moultonborough
