McKim Observatory
DePauw University's McKim Observatory
is an excellent example of a well-equipped late 1800's observatory. The
Observatory houses many of its original instruments, including a 9.53 inch
Clark refracting telescope and a Fauth and Co. meridian transit telescope.
Built in 1884, McKim Observatory is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places. Located in a residential neighborhood approximately one
kilometer from the main campus, McKim is currently used by: students enrolled
in astronomy classes, independent student research projects, and the public
at monthly open houses.
