Kick off our 2026 season of Star Parties by celebrating National Astronomy Day at the Grout Museum!

Guests of all ages are invited to explore hands-on space activities, enjoy special presentations in the Norris Corson Family Planetarium, and experience the night sky as it appeared during pivotal moments in history.

For one night only, visitors will also have the rare opportunity to view a piece of the Wright Brothers’ Kitty Hawk airplane, the very artifact that journeyed to the moon with Neil Armstrong.

This program is free for members and $5 for the general public.
