World's Tallest Grandfather Clock

After a new bridge was built in 1984, Svoboda moved its business and the clock to a shop on Highway 42 on the northeast edge of town. The chamber says the shop later closed, the clock was neglected for more than a decade, and in 2013 the property was sold to the Kewaunee County Sheriff's Department, which planned to use the building for storage. A local campaign followed, and the city council voted unanimously in March 2013 to move the clock to the corner of Miller Street and Highway 42/Milwaukee Street.

The clock was dismantled in June 2013. The chamber says its redwood body had rotted and was rebuilt in marine-grade plywood, a new footing was poured, and the ornate head was restored over the winter. The body and head were raised at the new site, facing the harbour, on 27 August 2014. Pavilion roofs followed in 2015, and from 5 December 2015, according to the chamber, a donated sound system has played chimes on the quarter, half and full hours. The chamber says more than $30,000 in local donations paid for the move and restoration.
