Ok, I'm confused. Henry Smith Pritchett says the observatory is in Glasgow, Missouri, but the Central Methodist University page has the observatory next to their president's house in Fayette, Missouri. It would be nice to find a website that actually has it's location. Of course, maybe the president lives in Glasgow, Missouri, or maybe the two towns merged. Anyone want to correct me?--Rayc 06:02, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

The observatory was originally in Glasgow, MO at the Pritchett Institute. In 1935 it was moved to Fayette. It is currently located at 700 Park Road, next to the Fayette City Park. Several times a year they offer public viewings.BLTMO 04:06, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
