Restoration in progress! We're temporarily closed but luminosity is ahead for the birthplace of modern astrophysics. Rising from the shoreline of Geneva Lake, Henry Ives Cobb's architectural masterpiece and Frederick Law Olmsted firm's 50-acre slice of landscaped grandeur create a symbiosis of craftsmanship and nature. We're hard at work on a mission to emblazon a new twinkle above the water and woods. Thanks to our community for your patience during our metamorphosis. The architects, designers, and tradespeople from all walks of life have taken remarkable pride in restoring Yerkes Observatory and our campus to its original 19th Century splendor while rocketing it into the 21st Century and beyond for generations to come.
