John B. McLemore, an Alabamian made famous by the stownpodcast, was fascinated by and passionate about clock restoration. Now his meticulously-restored clocks are the subject of a book and an exhibit at the National Watch & Clock Museum (nawccmuseum). 🕰️
“S-Town” mentioned several aspects of McLemore’s life, such as the hedge maze on his property, and his friendships with an eccentric cast of local characters.
It was only after his daughter informed him that Morris learned McLemore was the subject of “S-Town,” which he and his wife devoured in one sitting. Yet, when Morris knew him, McLemore had little patience for tattoos and piercings - an outlook that obviously changed by the time Reed encountered him. One gets a sense of this in both the book and the exhibit, which gathers about 40 clocks McLemore restored, often requiring patient, meticulous work. One clock required eight different metal finishes, Dodson said.
