The Marshal Martz Memorial Astronomical Association is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3). Every visit is free — your membership and donations keep the telescopes running and the lectures coming.
What a hidden gem in WNY! All volunteer members run the Observatory and do a fantastic job. If you have any interest in astronomy you need to visit and support the Martz Observatory! ~George B
