Description

Photograph of the testing tower and observation shelter at Ward Farm in Auburn, Massachusetts, July 1929. Ward Farm is where most of Robert Goddard's rocket experiments took place up to this point. However, the July 17th flight made so much noise and attracted so much publicity and attention that it forced Goddard and company to move their operations to Camp Devens where they could carry on outside the jurisdiction of state authorities.

'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.

Photographs were scanned at 400dpi.
