From a nearby information panel:
THE SUNDIAL
The sun has been used as a time keeper for thousands
of years. The time shown on the sundial and the actual
time can be as much as 1 hour and 16 minutes different.
The one hour difference is due to Day Light Savings
Time. The 16 minutes represents the distance that we
are from the 75th meridian, the beginning of our time
zone. On April 16th, June 14th, September 2nd and
December 26th the sun dial should show the same time
as your watch.
