Offered through Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

Explore the ill-fated history of Huntsville's prospective theme park, Space City USA. From initial fundraising and planning in 1959 to bankruptcy and liquidation in 1967, the study uses archival resources held by UAH and private collectors to place the Space City story in the context of Huntsville's rise to prominence and the growing pains of a nascent space-related tourism industry.

Presented by Drew Adan, archivist at M. Louis Salmon Library at UAH.
