Marshfield's City Hall Clock and Fire Bell
Raised May 29, 1901 • Removed Nov. 28, 1962
This 1,982 pound bell tolled the hours, served as community fire alarm and summoned volunteer firemen to meetings for more than four decades. The clock mechanism failed during World War II and the bell was retired from fire service in 1949. It was removed from its aging tower as a safety measure.
Marker is at the intersection of South Central Avenue and West 17th Street, on the right when traveling south on South Central Avenue.
