The Evansville Astronomical Society (EAS) is a non-profit organization fully incorporated in the state of Indiana. It has, as its primary goal, the advancement of amateur astronomy. Founded in 1952, the society seeks to:
1… maintain adequate facilities for its members and the public in order to extensively study the skies and
2… promote an educational program for those who wish to learn more about the science of Astronomy.
Meetings are held the third Friday of each month, except June, when the annual EAS picnic is held. The society also sponsors monthly Open House events during the warmer seasons that afford the public an opportunity to tour the observatory.
