| Morrison Observatory Central Methodist College Campus Fayette Missouri Morrison Observatory will be open every Thursday night starting March 3rd through April 21st from 7:30-9:30pm. Morrison houses a 17' Alvin Clark reflector telescope that was made in the late 1800's. The observatory was originally located in Glascow Missouri with money donated by Bernice Morrison, then later moved to Fayette after funds were mismanaged. The observatory is open to the public twice a year, once in the spring and in fall on selected thursday nights for about 8 weeks from 7-9pm. The observatory is worth the drive just to see even if it is still too cloudy for telescope viewing. |
