The Warsaw Astronomical Society will be conducting a public observing night hosted by Potawatomi Wildlife Park one hour after dark Saturday, May 16, at the park observing field. Observing is pending clear skies. Call ahead if partly cloudy.

Objects will include various constellations, and an array of other near and deep sky objects. Questions may be directed to the Potawatomi Wildlife Park director at (574)498-6550 or [email protected].

Potawatomi Wildlife Park is a free admission 317 acre park along the Tippecanoe River south of Bourbon. It is in Marshall County, just over the Kosciusko County border. Coming from the north, the park entrance is located approximately half mile south of SR 10 directly across from 17th road. Coming from the south, the entrance is approximately half mile north of the Tippecanoe Bridge on SR 331.

Recognized as Indiana’s first official dark-sky preserve, the property is a favorite site for local and regional amateur astronomers. The park is open daily from sunrise to sunset for you to walk the trails and observe or study wildlife or learn about the historic features the park preserves.
