In 2023 the Hamilton Watch Company donated funds to upgrade the Hamilton Gallery at our Museum at the NAWCC Headquarters in Columbia. On display are many important artifacts from the company’s beginnings in the early 1890’s in Lancaster, PA through their eventual move to Switzerland. We will take this Zoom opportunity to have Rhett Lucke, a Hamilton enthusiast, narrate and comment on these Museum pieces via Zoom as Alex Simpkins provides real time video of the collection. This is an opportunity for those who have not been to the Museum to see the collection with full commentary and the ability to ask questions.
