Description
The 70-year-old Stephens Memorial Observatory is home to the century-old Cooley Telescope. The massive wooden dome is hand-operated and the telescope is guided by its original weight-driven clock. The vintage facility is located in the village of Hiram, home of Hiram College which owns the observatory. Stephens is on Ohio State Route 82, about a half-mile west of State Route 700. Attendees are asked to park on permitted side streets or in the lot at Harrison's Hideaway Gift Shoppe, 6821 Wakefield Road, just a couple of hundred feet east of the Observatory. Nearby Peckham Avenue is posted "No Parking" -- violators may be ticketed! There is no parking at the Observatory. DO NOT drive into or park in neighboring driveways: it's inconsiderate and violators may be towed!
