Discover where time began in the Blackstone Valley! Benjamin Willard began making clocks in his small Grafton workshop in 1766, and within a few years, his three younger brothers followed in his footsteps and became America's premier 18th century clockmakers. Today the museum includes the original 1718 Willard homestead, clock shop, and three modern galleries.
