Powell Observatory continues to be one of Miami County’s hidden secrets, tucked away at Lewis-Young Park. The Astronomical Society of Kansas City (ASKC) has owned and operated Powell Observatory at Louisburg’s Lewis-Young Park for the past 36 years. It soon may be located at a new home, though, as plans are in the works to move the observatory to a larger plot of land near Louisburg, and curators hope to relocate the facility by 2023. Recently, ASKC representatives have been in talks with the Cedar Cove Feline Conservancy regarding the possibility of building the new observatory complex on a portion of the Cedar Cove property.
