Memberships and donations are what keep this an active and vibrant Cincinnati institution since our founding.

In 1842, individuals and families invested $25 to acquire the old telescope and have made a lasting impact for 8 generations in our community. That same telescope, is used on a daily basis to “WOW” school students and adults with the wonders of the universe.  21st century visitors to the Observatory can’t help but marvel at the beauty, and elegance of the machinery and the architecture of the timeless buildings.  Please join us as a member of the Cincinnati Observatory and help make the telescopes and the grounds available for the next 8 generations.
