Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits
This exhibit shows a replica of the store that was run by the Burton family for almost 50 years. Visitors today can stop in and see clocks of the 1800s.
Alfred Burton's watch repair shop probably opened in 1869 as part of a wave of new and reopened businesses in Harpers Ferry after the Civil War. Burton and his sons repaired and sold watches, clocks, jewelry, and spectacles in this building for nearly 50 years.
