What was your guess for ? Congrats to those who guessed Banjo Clock! This American style of clock, known for resembling a banjo's shape, was popularized by Boston clockmaker Simon Willard in the early 1800s. This particular banjo clock from the c. 1820 Church-Waddel-Brumby House has a mahogany veneer and an eagle finial at the top typical of Federal period style.
Visit the Church-Waddel-Brumby House for free to see what is believed to be Athens' oldest surviving home! Located at 280 E. Dougherty St., the house museum also houses the welcome center. We offer daily walking and shuttle tours as well as community programs and exhibits throughout the year. Details at athenswelcomecenter.com
