Boelcke Observatory - Astronomical Observatories on Waymarking.com

This observatory is located on the campus of Mercyhurst College, which is in the town of Northeast, Pennsylvannia.
It is listed on the "Observatories of Pennsylvannia", but I was not able to find out much more than that about it. The campus was closed when I was there, so I could not ask at the library. On the website for the college, it does state that they do indeed have an observatory. I believe that it may be for college use, as part of an Astronomy class.
I was there at about 5:00 in the afternoon, 8/18/07.
