Marion Natural History Museum 9 viewsThe Marion Natural History Museum would like to thank Mike and Jake Cronin for providing another exciting rocket program last week. The museum’s after-school group had a chance to hear about engines and what goes into making a rocket.

The museum’s upcoming programs are available at marionmuseum.org. Photo courtesy of
