The Marshal Martz Memorial Astronomical Association, Inc. is a non-profit organization devoted to the amateur astronomer. The emphasis of our Association is observational astronomy, well-rooted in public education and enjoyment of the starry skies. The Martz Kohl Observatory is the base of operations for our organization and is key to our public education efforts.
Public nights are open for all to enjoy and find out what our organization is all about. On public nights, come to the door beside the dome for entry into the observatory where we will be happy to show you what to do and see! Please consider a donation during your visit of $2.00 for students and $5.00 for adults.
