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

We Need Your Help - Please Donate

We have had several people approach us about how they can help or how they can donate to help fund the parts and pieces required to make the Historic Cabarrus County Courthouse clock work again.  If you would like to donate, please send a check or money order to:

Cabarrus Time Savers
P.O. Box 1094
Concord, NC 28026

Please make payable to "Cabarrus Time Savers" and please provide your name, company name, and contact information so you can receive recognition for your contributions.  Cabarrus Time Savers is a 501c3 non-profit organization.

We are working on a way to donate online via PayPal.  We should have that available soon!  In the meantime, anything donated would be greatly appreciated.  All funds go directly to the restoration of the clock, including parts, materials, paint, and hired labor for processes we can't do ourselves.  We strive to do as much ourselves as possible, but some tasks just have to be outsourced.

If you would like to donate in person, please contact us directly at cabtimesavers@yahoo.com.

We are still collecting for Phase I of our restoration.  Phase II and III calculations are currently underway as the renovation gets deeper.  We expect these costs for the last two phases to be in excess of $35,000.  We will update our needs as we learn more.

Here are our current goals:


Thank you to everyone that has donated to this restoration and everyone that has even shown interest in this project.
