On the south edge of Johnny Behrnes Memorial Park, the Prague Centennial Clock is on display as the town's participation in the Centennial Commemoration of Oklahoma in 2007. This park is on Highway 62 on the west side of town.

This four-faced clock which was working at the time of our visit, is free-standing on a black pole. At the top of the clock faces are the words "PRAGUE" "ESTABLISHED 1902."

A brass plate mounted on the base of the pole reads:
