About the Event
Dr. Robert H Goddard is known as the father of the space age. Along with his wife, Esther, their research led to the development of the world's first liquid-fuel rocket which ushered in the modern space age. His multigenerational home, built in 1825, at 1 Tallawanda Dr, was recently saved from destruction by the nonprofit THE WONDER MISSION. Their house is now the first stop on “The National Space Trail” and serves as a museum/library/Goddard resource center to be used to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, explorers, and those who dream big. Please join us for a short tour and presentation on Robert and Esther’s significance and legacy.
