Early Timekeeping

This sundial, generously donated to the Albert Lowe Museum, serves as a timeless reminder of the generations who looked to the sun, sea, and stars to guide daily life in the Bahamas. Before modern clocks, sundials were among the most common timekeeping instruments, helping people organize daily activities and navigate the passage of the day. Today, it serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and practical knowledge of earlier generations.
