An
expanded
exhibition of “The
Millington Barnard Collection of Natural Philosophy Demonstration
Apparatus” will be on display at the University Museum during the
workshop. Participants will also be able to visit the Collection
store rooms.
Barnard
Observatory, completed in 1859, will be open for tours. The three-dome
structure was designed by F. A. P. Barnard on the model of Russia's
Poulkovo Observatory, and now houses the University's Center for
the Study of Southern Culture. The Opening Session and First
Keynote
Address will be held in this historic setting.
Kennon Observatory,
built in 1939 as part of the Works Progress
Administration, will also be open for tours. This twin-dome structure
was designed by William Lee Kennon and houses the largest Grubb
telescope (1892) in the U. S.
Guided tours of
other University buildings, including the Lyceum (1848)
and Rowan Oak (William Faulkner's home), are also planned.
If there is sufficient interest, post-workshop excursions to
attractions in the Mississippi Delta and Memphis will be organized.
