A new exhibit entitled Into Space is open to the public. The exhibit highlights various aspects of space travel and contains items on loan from NASA’s Johnson Space Center, including moon rock replicas and two models of the space shuttle. NASA’s Space Program has played an important role not only in the development of science and exploration, but also in the economic development of the region. With the possibility that the new international spaceport may be located in Brazoria County, it is even more important for citizens of the County to have a working knowledge of America’s Space Program. The exhibit will be on display through April 14, 2002.

Located in the 1897 Brazoria County Courthouse at 100 East Cedar Street in Angleton, the Museum is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is closed Sundays and holidays. The Museum houses five exhibit spaces, an auditorium for programming, the Museum gift shop and a research library. Admission is free. For more information, call 979-864-1208.
