Timexpo Museum and Easter Island Statue

Field review by the editors.

  Waterbury,   Connecticut  

A giant Easter Island head, visible from I-84, woos travelers to investigate a brick edifice labeled "Timexpo." It's the old Scovall brass mill manufacturing building, transformed into a museum of clock and watch history by the Timex corporation. The company traces its timepiece-making heritage back to the 1850s. Timex Headquarters has always been further west, in the small town of Middlebury, CT, but this location, opened in 2001, is probably better for visitor traffic.
