By MyFM’s Claire Beverly – North Grafton’s Willard House & Clock Museum has gotten a $15 million grant to expand. The Museum says the grant from Trustee Charles Grichar will be used to build a space to hold 90 additional clocks with proper storage as well as a small auditorium, horological library, and conservation workshops and classrooms. The museum must raise $3 million in order to qualify for the $15 million gift but two foundations have offered money. Opened in 1971, the museum is on the National Register of Historic Places.
