Lincoln Highway Assn. meets June 16 in Delphos
Topp Chalet, 229 W. Fifth St., Delphos, will host this month’s Lincoln Highway Association Western Ohio Chapter meeting at 6 p.m., Tuesday, June 16.
After attendees order dinner individually from the menu, a small business meeting will take place and then the group will travel to 327 S. Bredeick St. in Delphos around 7:15 p.m. to visit the former home of world renowned astronomer, Leslie Peltier.
Jack and Peggy Adams are the current owners of the home Peltier called "Brookhaven" and are in the process of updating and restoring the home to eventually turn it into a bed and breakfast.
Over the course of his life, Peltier discovered 12 comets and two novae and was described as the "world's greatest non-professional astronomer."
The Astronomical League established The Leslie C. Peltier Award in his honor and annually awards it to an amateur astronomer who contributes to astronomy observations of lasting significance.
The public is invited.
