Chris spoke to CDA in 2019 about the Trumbull County clock industry and has built and dedicated a room to house his collection of locally made wooden works clocks. Diane collects early decorative antiques and their house is a treasure trove of unique items. The tour will be followed by a picnic luncheon across the street from the house.
