This town clock sits in front of the Citizens-Farmers Bank.
Established in 1898 the Bank is part of the Historic District of Cole Camp.
Cole Camp is an historic town located where the Ozarks meet the great prairies.
It is dated from its first post office in 1839, and it was the site of one of the first battles of the Civil War.
With a population of around 1029,located along what was once known as The Military Road.
Williams "Zeke" as he was known, liked the area and was to return in 1829 or 1830, settling along what became Williams Creek about four miles west of the present town site in 1829 or 1830.
Here he opened a trading post and a way-station for travelers and stage coaches. He also opened a post office which he reportedly named after his home parish of Cole Camp, in Kentucky.
I happened upon this great looking clock on my way to the MOGA event I just attended at Mark Twain Lake.
