WILLIAMS BAY — Yerkes Observatory should not be changed after the observatory closes.
That is the consensus of civic leaders as they face a future without the 120-year-old academic and research center after the University of Chicago ceases operations there by Oct. 1.

WILLIAMS BAY — University of Chicago administrators are pledging not to walk away from Yerkes Observatory after it is closed, and they say the iconic facility itself is not going anywhere.
“We have no intention of destroying the building at all,” David Fithian, the university’s executive vice president, told members of the Williams Bay Village Board.

WILLIAMS BAY — A civic-minded group has created a foundation with the goal of raising at least $10 million for an endowment to keep Yerkes Observatory functioning.
Known as the Yerkes Future Foundation, the group includes a combination of business and civic leaders who hope to operate the soon-to-be-closed observatory as a local tourist attraction and science education center.

WILLIAMS BAY — The Wisconsin Historical Society is offering help to preserve Yerkes Observatory, but a local group involved in the Yerkes effort is not yet ready to take up the offer.
The state-funded historical society said it has reached out to assist the Yerkes Future Foundation, a private group that is working to revive the observatory after it closes this October.

WILLIAMS BAY — Employees of Yerkes Observatory have formed a nonprofit group they hope can take over educational programming after the observatory closes its doors.
The group intends to solicit private donations to support its efforts, which focus on maintaining science-based educational programs at local schools, community rooms and elsewhere.

WILLIAMS BAY — It was 50 years ago that an undergraduate physics student from the University of Minnesota took his first look through the 40-inch refractor telescope at the Yerkes Observatory.
On a Friday night, after a tour through the observatory, a young Kyle Cudworth and some friends were able to look through the refractor’s eyepiece.

The University of Chicago plans to install two gates along Observatory Place, a private road that serves the university’s 77-acre campus for Yerkes Observatory.

It was a sad time for them. Yet, despite the sadness, there is also hope that a local organization, Yerkes Future Foundation, and the university can reach an agreement to reopen the observatory to the public.

WILLIAMS BAY — What remains of the former Yerkes Education Outreach has found a new home in downtown Williams Bay.
An independent group called GLAS, hoping to resurrect programs that were once centered in the Yerkes Observatory, is setting up shop in a former architectural office at 186 Elkhorn Road.

WILLIAMS BAY — Could the future of Yerkes Observatory be controlled by a document signed more than 100 years ago by the man for whom the facility is named?
That is a looming question as the University of Chicago considers its options now that the university has closed the observatory on the Williams Bay lakefront.

WILLIAMS BAY — More than a year after the closure of Yerkes Observatory was announced, the landmark’s future remains clouded by heirs to its namesake donor.
The head of a nonprofit foundation hoping to acquire and preserve the Williams Bay scientific center says the property remains “tied up” by possible legal claims of family members of benefactor Charles T. Yerkes.

This summer, guests can come to Lake Geneva to see the real stars fixed in the heavens above the Riviera.

WILLIAMS BAY — It is an anniversary that nobody is celebrating.
Yerkes Observatory has been closed for one year, leaving a dark hole in Williams Bay where there was once scientific enterprise, community engagement and civic pride.

WILLIAMS BAY — The owner of Yerkes Observatory has announced an agreement to transfer the lakefront landmark to a private foundation that promises to reopen the facility for public usage.
The University of Chicago said Nov. 5 it had reached “an agreement in principle” with the Yerkes Future Foundation to take over ownership and maintenance of the observatory.

WILLIAMS BAY — The owners of Yerkes Observatory have sold part of the property for redevelopment, but the observatory and most of the remaining land will be donated to a private foundation, Village President Bill Duncan said.
Duncan made his remarks Wednesday at a town hall meeting, saying that he has been briefed on negotiations between the observatory owners and the private Yerkes Future Foundation.

WILLIAMS BAY — A private foundation dedicated to resurrecting Yerkes Observatory says the group could reopen Yerkes to the general public as soon as this summer.
In a proposal to Williams Bay city planners, the Yerkes Future Foundation is seeking a permit to restore and reactivate the historic scientific facility, which closed in 2018.

WILLIAMS BAY — Community stakeholders are largely supportive of new plans for the Yerkes Observatory property, although some are uncomfortable with seeing private homes built on vacant lakefront property.
The University of Chicago announced on March 10 that the university will donate the shuttered observatory and 50 acres of surrounding property to the private nonprofit Yerkes Future Foundation.

Culminating a two-year effort to preserve the beloved landmark of scientific exploration and education, the private Yerkes Future Foundation officially assumed ownership of the property from the University of Chicago.

WILLIAMS BAY – A recently organized group of concerned citizens has formed to stop future residential development of about 9 acres of forested lakefront property adjacent to the Yerkes Observatory campus which is owned by the University of Chicago.
The Save the Observatory Wood and Lakefront group formed at the end of July in response to a request by the University of Chicago, which owns the property, to amend the village’s comprehensive plan to allow for future residential development on the land.

That is the consensus of civic leaders as they face a future without the 120-year-old academic and research center after the University of Chicago ceases operations there by Oct. 1.

“We have no intention of destroying the building at all,” David Fithian, the university’s executive vice president, told members of the Williams Bay Village Board.

WILLIAMS BAY — A civic-minded group has created a foundation with the goal of raising at least $10 million for an endowment to keep Yerkes Observatory functioning.
Known as the Yerkes Future Foundation, the group includes a combination of business and civic leaders who hope to operate the soon-to-be-closed observatory as a local tourist attraction and science education center.

WILLIAMS BAY — The Wisconsin Historical Society is offering help to preserve Yerkes Observatory, but a local group involved in the Yerkes effort is not yet ready to take up the offer.
The state-funded historical society said it has reached out to assist the Yerkes Future Foundation, a private group that is working to revive the observatory after it closes this October.

WILLIAMS BAY — Employees of Yerkes Observatory have formed a nonprofit group they hope can take over educational programming after the observatory closes its doors.
The group intends to solicit private donations to support its efforts, which focus on maintaining science-based educational programs at local schools, community rooms and elsewhere.

WILLIAMS BAY — It was 50 years ago that an undergraduate physics student from the University of Minnesota took his first look through the 40-inch refractor telescope at the Yerkes Observatory.
On a Friday night, after a tour through the observatory, a young Kyle Cudworth and some friends were able to look through the refractor’s eyepiece.

This summer, guests can come to Lake Geneva to see the real stars fixed in the heavens above the Riviera.

Representatives from the Yerkes Observatory group joined their counterparts from four other astronomical facilities June 15 in California to discuss the directions they might follow in trying to preserve the legacy of their fading facilities.

WILLIAMS BAY — A private foundation dedicated to resurrecting Yerkes Observatory says the group could reopen Yerkes to the general public as soon as this summer.
In a proposal to Williams Bay city planners, the Yerkes Future Foundation is seeking a permit to restore and reactivate the historic scientific facility, which closed in 2018.

WILLIAMS BAY — Community stakeholders are largely supportive of new plans for the Yerkes Observatory property, although some are uncomfortable with seeing private homes built on vacant lakefront property.
The University of Chicago announced on March 10 that the university will donate the shuttered observatory and 50 acres of surrounding property to the private nonprofit Yerkes Future Foundation.

No doubt the Yerkes Observatory campus will be developed in time, and it’ll be a big boost in a new way for Williams Bay.
But now, as plans are still being debated, it’s time to pause in the name of preserving history.

WILLIAMS BAY – A recently organized group of concerned citizens has formed to stop future residential development of about 9 acres of forested lakefront property adjacent to the Yerkes Observatory campus which is owned by the University of Chicago.
The Save the Observatory Wood and Lakefront group formed at the end of July in response to a request by the University of Chicago, which owns the property, to amend the village’s comprehensive plan to allow for future residential development on the land.
