Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Old Clock Hints

Where is it?

  • 1 of 3: It's halfway between the Lilac Inn and Topham's house.
  • 2 of 3: Leave the Lilac Inn and turn left. Cross the two wooden bridges, then turn left and cross the stone bridge.
  • 3 of 3: Take a step toward Topham's house, then turn left to see the carriage house. (A carriage house is a place for keeping horses and carriages. By 1930, horses and carriages were fairly rare, so most people used them as garages or workshops.)
