Little is k n o w o f t h e history
of Farmington's T o w n Clock
Most people are aware that it is
hi t p e First Congregational
Church on South Main Street,
that it chimes t h e h o u r s and that
it tolls unceasingly for four
minutes o n the F o u r t h of July
But when and h o w was built
and b y whom, w h o paid for the
construction and maintenance,
how it is w o u n d , are questions
answered with difficulty
Mrs.
Kathleen
Dolliver,
Librarian
of t h e
Goodwin
Library,
Farmingtonjielped
research the question of the
clock. She knew a bit of church
history from t w o photographs in
the library besement One shows
a church on Central Street It
has
been
identified
as a
Congregational c h u r c h , and that
is all that is k n o w n .
Records also housed in the
basement of t h e library reveal
the founding of a Congregational
church in town o n May 2 9 ,
1920. The n o t e b o o k belonged t o
the church's first recorder, John
W Furber, b u t , unfortunately,
there are no further records and
it can only be conjectured that
this might have been the Cwrfral
Street Church, a n d that its
parishioners later built on Main
Street
The other picture is of a
Congregational church on Main
Street, on t h e location of the
present church building. And
this church has a clock But, as
the caption relates, the church
burned
t o the ground on
February 1, 1875, the clock
striking 3 0 0 p m., it is said, as it
crashed t o t h e pavement
The present church was built
some time after that And either
when it was built, or at a later
date, t h e Town Clo-:k was
housed in t h e tower
It is believed that t h e Precinct
of Farmington took care of the
maintenance of the first clock
and took over I h e maintenance
of the second when il was built
Though there is no evidence as
yet on this point. Precinct
Engineer Ricker has confirmed
the possibility The precinct was
founded in 1855, and may have
assumed maintenance of t h e
clock that b u m e d twenty years
later and that which replaced it
But ' h e present clock gives
few cl-es as t o its history It was
made by the E Howard Co.. of
