The NARHAMS model rocket club has public launches 1pm on the first Sunday of every month. Anyone who wants to fly is welcome or just come check out the launches !

Do not miss the great gift shop . Lots of NASA goodies, including hats, patches, and shirts !

It's a very small exhibition , nothing at all like Kennedy for instance. But a historic place of interest to space buffs primarily. Less than half an hour from central Washington.
