Family Church Fredonia replaces giant clock destroyed in fire

The clock has a 7' face and will be backlit with LED lighting.

FREDONIA, N.Y. — Family Church Fredonia celebrated another milestone Thursday morning — the installation of a big, new clock.

The church's old clock tower and attic were destroyed by fire back in May. Last month, they installed a new steeple.

Now there's a new single, 7' face clock on the south side of the building, facing Barker Common. It features LED lighting.

Previously, the Village of Fredonia owned and maintained the clock because of an agreement formed back in 1891, but the new clock will be owned and operated by the church.

A lot of the cost exceeded insurance coverage, so there's a GoFundMe page to help raise money for the project.
