BERNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Members of Berne’s Muensterberg Plaza and Clock Tower steering committee break ground Wednesday at the construction site near the intersection of state Route 218 and U.S. 27 in Berne.
The clock tower will stand nearly 160 feet high and will include four large clock faces and animated fiberglass figurines that will emerge to perform a reenactment of scenes from the settlement of the city.
The committee hopes that the addition of the clock tower will be more than a tourist attraction but a focal point for the community’s festivals and special events.
The project will also include a gazebo, a promenade, a water feature, a settlers sculpture and a stage area with sound equipment for concerts and community gatherings.
