This is a fairly large sundial that fits with the architecture of the building. It was donated in 1993 by the Niermeyer Foundation, a private charity set up by David Niermeyer of Vestal New York in 1991.

Since that time, hundreds of thousands of children and adults have experienced the wonders of science through the Observatory’s programs."
