Description

Photograph of visitors at the opening of The Goddard Rocket Exhibit which opened and was dedicated at the American Museum of Natural History on April 21, 1948. This exhibit toured all around the country for the next several years. The side of the rocket seen in the photograph was opened up and mapped out for visitors.

This photograph is part of the final section of Esther Goddard's photo album titled "A Few Informal Photographs, Through the Years". Not all of these photographs were taken by Esther.

'The Goddard Rocket Researches: A Photographic Record' is an annotated photo album covering Robert H. Goddard's work and experimentation with rocketry. It was assembled and curated by Esther Goddard sometime after her husband's passing in 1945. Additionally, almost all of the photographs were taken by Esther herself.
