On May 12, City, county and state elected officials, members of the Gaithersburg Historic District Commission, community leaders, and other invited guests will dedicate Latitude Observatory Park, a new, interpretive public space that highlights the importance of the scientific work conducted in Gaithersburg for nearly a century. The ceremony will include remarks from the Mayor and the last observer employed at the site. The park, located at 100 DeSellum Avenue, will be open to the public later this spring. Throughout the month of May, signage and commemorative wreaths will be on display at Latitude Observatory Park and the train station in Olde Towne. The signage further details the scientific relationship that Gaithersburg shares with Japan.
This is an invite only dedication
