THE STELLAFANE VIRTUAL MUSEUM
Welcome to the Virtual Museum operated by the Springfield Telescope Makers. All of the photos included here are of items that can be found in our real museum, opened in 1975, located in three underground rooms at the Hartness House Inn in Springfield, Vermont. You can plan a visit to the museum during the Stellafane convention (Friday 5pm to 8pm and Sunday 9am to noon). Admission is free! We are interested in considering new items regarding amateur telescope making to be added to the museum and ?subject=Virtual Museum">welcome inqiries.
