Learn the star lore of Native Americans and explore the night skies through telescopes on Friday, May 24 and Saturday, May 25 from 9-11 p.m. at Homestead National Monument of America’s Heritage Center.

Brenda and John Nejedlo of GeoAstroRV will be onsite with their telescopes to assist visitors in exploring the night sky. Brenda and John travel the country in their RV sharing their astronomy skills with various National Park Service sites. They are visiting Homestead National Monument of America through May 28.

On May 24 and May 25, Brenda and John are teaming up with local Native American star lore storyteller Ryan Paul. Visitors will not only explore the sky through the GeoAstroRV telescopes but also through the constellation origin stories of Native Americans.

The Tallgrass Prairie Fiddle Festival takes place on May 25 starting at noon. Come a day early and enjoy the night program or stay overnight after the Festival to enjoy the night skies. “The Homestead Heritage Center is a great place to view the night skies especially when you can combine the Native American constellation origin stories. Homestead National Monument of America is excited to be able to offer this program over the Memorial Day weekend in addition to the Tallgrass Prairie Fiddle Festival happening on Saturday, May 25,” said Superintendent Mark Engler.
