My Grandfather’s Clock
October 10, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Gold Coin EntryThis is a joint Family History Connections and PMI Victorian History Library event.
Join us for a story of an ordinary family’s journey from frontier warfare and dispossession through economic turmoil and emigration to modest prosperity. At each step, we are led to reflect on the puzzles of personal identity and the mystery of time. Based on a lifetime of creative scholarship, My Grandfather’s Clock is a moving testament to the power of family history to illuminate the present.
