LOWELL

Lowell Observatory is a Corporation Sole and is governed by a single Trustee, William Lowell Putnam IV, as prescribed by the Will of Percival Lowell, the governing document of the Observatory. We openly share financial and executive reports... During these past 125 years, Lowell Observatory has been recognized as a Registered National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service and an Arizona Treasure by Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano; included by First Lady Hillary Clinton in her Save America's Treasures program; and named by Time magazine in 2011 as one of "The World's 100 Most Important Places." If you name a science education show-from Walt Disney's Tomorrowland Program in the 1950s to modern-day specials on the Science Channel-chances are Lowell, and by extension Flagstaff, have been featured.
