A well done little film on a local legend and landmark.

We are thrilled to announce that "Timekeeper: Allan Symons and The Canadian Clock Museum," a 10-minute documentary film by Jeff Winch about Deep River's unique Clock Museum (and Canada's ONLY clock museum) and its curator Allan Symons, is now linked on the Deep River Library's website! If you missed the 'world premiere' event here at the library last summer, now's your chance to view it!
Visit www.deepriverlibrary.ca/local-history/ and click on "Books & films on local history". The "Timekeeper" film is listed at the bottom of that section. Thank you to filmmaker Jeff Winch for allowing us to feature this local gem on our website!
