Continuing on our museum exploring we went to Roswell Museum and Art Center. This was a wonderful surprise. Roswell is not a large city but this museum had exhibits as good as museums in Denver.
The art display was exceptional. It had all kinds of mediums of art and a whole section dedicated to the life's work of Robert H. Goddard, who was America's Rocketry Pioneer and considered the father of modern rocket propulsion. His 1926, rocket launch using liquid fuel is as important to history as the Wright Brothers flight at Kitty Hawk.
(www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/about/dr_goddard.htm) Dr. Goddard performed many of his rocket experiments near Roswell, New Mexico. The museum houses his workshop and a great display of the hundreds of patents on devises still used today in jet engines and rockets.
"It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today, and the reality of tomorrow." Dr. Robert H. Goddard.
