Additional Information

The Lima Astronomical Society was formed in 1952 to bring together those in the area with an interest in Astronomy. In 1964 the Schoonover family donated money to build Schoonover Observatory in a local park. Lima Astronomical Society members built the original telescope for the observatory which was then deeded to the City of Lima. Since then the Lima Astronomical Society has operated the observatory for the city and includes a computer operated 14 inch Celestron telescope.
