“As a child spending summers in Lake Geneva, I often looked from the lake for the giant dome peeking over the treetops. The view gave me peace. Yerkes was a reliable fixture there to greet me. It always amazed my dad, too. When he would talk about the history and importance of Yerkes, he’d also mention how the building was essentially off limits to the public. I’m thrilled that it is now a place open for anyone who has an interest in science, astronomy, architecture, horticulture, and the arts. It is a place where all are welcome to visit and learn. I am amazed to learn something new every time I enter and I hope people will come to learn and experience something new and amazing for themselves.”
