“Curator’s Tour Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Landing on the Moon”
Joshua Stoff, Curator
Cradle of Aviation Museum
This dual event (curator’s tour and film) is for paid NCHS members only—the announcement card mailed to your home address will admit the individual(s) printed on the card to the event. We are unable to accommodate guests at this special event, a perk for members.
Members who have not yet renewed for 2019, and new members, must have dues postmarked, or paid via PayPal, by Monday, June 10, 2019.
We will have a unique curator’s tour by Joshua Stoff of the Apollo Gallery and see the new exhibition, Space: A Journey to the Future. Grumman Corporation won the competition to build the Apollo Lunar Module (LM), the first spaceship to take humans to the moon and arguably the most historically important vehicle ever built on Long Island. On July 20, 1969, the LM-5 Eagle landed Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon.
After the curator’s tour (and seeing the Cradle’s LM-13), we can watch in the Museum’s I-Max Theater the Apollo 11 documentary, which includes recently discovered, 70 mm. archival footage. The 47-minute, 2019 film received rave reviews as “inspiring and truly awesome.” Members must bring the announcement card mailed to your home address for admission.
More information, and directions, are provided on our Calendar page. There you will also find information about past and future meetings.
Take a look around!
