The Carlton Observatory at Evergreen
The Carlton Observatory at Evergreen is a 501c3 non-profit organization. We are currently on-campus at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. Our goal is to create a unique community resource featuring interactive experiences including an observatory and planetarium inside a multi-use facility. The space will encourage and inspire students, parents, educators, and visitors to learn, celebrate, and experience science in a whole new way. As our mission states, we are:
Fostering an engaged, imaginative, and scientifically literate community.
