Goodsell Observatory

Built in the late 1890s, Goodsell Observatory houses three historic telescopes (all more than 110 years old) as well as modern telescopes used for classes and open houses. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places.

    I love the Goodsell building. I have a fascination for telescopes.

    My favorite place on Carleton's campus is the linguistics lab in Goodsell Observatory. I could keep working on linguistics there in that beautiful old building indefinitely. It has a good couch to nap on and a blackboard that's great for hashing out a syntactic tree of a sentence in an obscure language.
