Coming Soon to Bigfork Village - the Clock Tower!


You have probably all noticed the renovations throughout Electric Avenue over the last several years, including but not limited to, the lobby renovation of the Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts, the Double Eagle Building, the new patio dining & windows upgrade at Showthyme, the face lifts to the JugTree and to Bigfork Bay Gift and Gear, the new Persimmon gallery, the Pocketstone, etc.  In short, downtown Bigfork gets more beautiful and charming with every passing year.

To that end, the Community Foundation for a Better Bigfork (CFBB) is undertaking a much-needed exterior renovation of the Bigfork Village Square building, which houses the Bigfork Museum and the Bigfork branch of the Flathead County Library in the heart of downtown Bigfork.  The exterior renovation project will include a new clock tower housing a 48” in diameter energy efficient LED backlit clock with a digital bell system which has the capacity to play music as well as the classic Westminster chimes.  To hear a sample, go to www.americlock.com/digital-bell-system.htm

The Clock Tower project should be complete by mid-June just in time for Summer 2012, with actual construction lasting about three to four weeks.

As with most community projects in Bigfork, it's the volunteers and donors who make things happen.  This project is being completed with the cooperation, support and/or funding from the following entities:
