Abstract:

Community clock towers serve as landmarks in many cities across North Carolina. Many of the clocks have come to symbolize the towns. For example, Henderson firefighters wear the image of their town clock tower on their shoulder patches. A number of towns, like Madison, feature their clocks on their websites. Paige describes a number of clock towers, including those in Hillsborough, New Bern, Statesville, Madison, and Henderson.
