Our Mission


Our Mission

Cabarrus Time Savers is a non-profit organization that has set out to identify and restore important public time pieces in our community. We consider tower and street clocks to be an important part of our history, in Cabarrus County. For many decades, people planned their day to day lives around clocks in the public eye. We are dedicated to preserving, repairing, and restoring these clocks.

The purpose of this blog is to bring you history of our local horology, news of our current projects, and provide a means to communicate with the community when we need help with historical facts and locating clocks and missing parts for these clocks.

If you would like to donate to our restoration funds or have questions about fund raising, please contact us at: cabtimesavers@yahoo.com

If there is a clock in our community that you feel is important or that may even be missing, please reach out to us.


Thank you!
Scott Schmeiser

With the removal of the historic Cabarrus Courthouse clock quickly approaching, here are some additional pictures to show the current condition.  This is going to be an exciting and challenging restoration, but another piece of history will be brought back to life.
