Surveying history and Museum

Updating progress on The "The Museum of Measurement and Time"
July 10, 2010:

We are closer to the grand opening. We have acquired a building and are making improvements. We plan to have things ready for opening by October 2010.

The museum will feature Land Surveying and Horology. The collection of surveying equipment and clocks are being prepared for display. Visit our web site for additional details.

Suggestions and comments from the Surveying community are always appreciated. I will post progress either here or on the museum web site, thanks for your interest.
