A Night at the Museum

With the holidays well behind us, it’s time for some new family fun – fun that includes sleeping
too! Spend a night at the National Watch and Clock Museum on March 2. Find out what happens after the Museum locks its doors each night. Does the mouse run up the clock, does the grandfather clock begin to talk, or does time The Museum, located in Columbia, is truly the center of time and is home to close to 12,000 watches and clocks.
Why not bring your family and explore time?! After a stroll through the Museum’s time tunnel, you will find yourself transported to the time of Stonehenge and water clocks. From there, you begin your journey through time where thousands of years later (or an hour and a half in museum time) your family will stand speechless before the Mars Clock wondering, “Where did the time go?”
The Family Overnight is a unique opportunity for children ages 6 to 12 to spend the night at the Museum and enjoy decorating a clock to take home, munching on a snack, and exploring the many Museum’s exhibits. Cost is $20 for children and $12 for adults, with payment due prior to the sleepover. The adult chaperone must be at least 21 years old and one chaperone is required for every five children who participate.
Admission includes:
Scavenger hunt activity through the Museum
Museum exploration
Make-a-clock program for children
Snack and light breakfast
Souvenir patch for children

Saving spaces

Throughout town, various forms of using chairs, trash cans and other items have cropped up to save parking spaces.

Who is to shovel these sidewalks?

Columbia Borough's ordinance says all sidewalks must be cleared within eight hours after a snowfall. It farther says a path of three foot wide must be cleared. Apparently someone forgot to tell the owners of the sidewalk which stretches from Florence Street east to the bend on Barber Street. Since many residents of Trinity House use this stretch, they are unshoveled. The owner of the sidewalks -- COLUMBIA BOROUGH!
