The Great Wilmette Clock

From Zacatlan, Mexico

The Great Wilmette Clock, a gift to the village from the Wilmette Arts Guild, arrived in town on June 2nd.  It is temporarily installed in the Rec Center, 3000 Glenview Road.

The clock, which stands 9 feet tall, is one of the finest examples of a mechanical clock.  All working parts are easily seen, and its bells chime on the quarter hour and with a great cacophony upon the hour.  It has already attracted scores of onlookers both young and young at heart.

C & D Movers delivered "The Clock"

The Great Wilmette Clock

Inspiring young minds.

Children ages 6 through 9 participated in Arts in the Park at the Wilmette Rec Center

Sarah Heston said,"When each child came to camp, each was given a sketchbook and taken to the Great Clock. They drew what they saw and went upstairs to the classroom to construct the collage from their drawings. So many great art concepts! And they loved it!"
