History at Night in Lyons

The speaker for the April 28 session of History at Night at the Wayne County Museum will be Anthony Prasil. In his lecture, titled Time for This and the Next Millennium, Prasil will speak on the history of timekeeping and clockmaking from the very beginning - in the old world, to the present in upstate New York. Prasil will also explain what changes in timekeeping lie ahead in the next millennium.

Prasil has been the Curator of the Hoffman Clock Museum in Newark for 10 years. A graduate of Cornell University, Prasil is a Fellow of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors and is a member of the American Watchmakers Institute, the British Horological Institute and the Antiquarian Horological Society of Great Britain.

The lecture will begin at 7 p.m. at the Wayne County Historical Society Museum on 21 Butternut St. Refreshments will be provided by Zappia Vending Service Inc., and the Society. The public is invited to attend this free event but reservations are required as seating space is limited.
