A special NASA exhibit is landing in Farmerville this August, and families won't want to miss it!
If you have a child who dreams of rockets, astronauts, planets, or the mysteries of space, mark your calendar! From August 13 through September 26, 2026, families can experience Back to the Moon...on to Mars, a special NASA exhibit traveling to Farmerville directly from the NASA Huntsville Space Center.
The exhibit officially opens with a free public reception and ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon on Thursday, August 13. Families are invited to celebrate the launch, enjoy a light lunch, and explore this exciting exhibit together.
One of the highlights of opening day will be the opportunity to meet NASA representative Chris Blair, who will be available to share information about the exhibit and answer questions about NASA's exciting missions to the Moon and Mars.
Whether your child already loves science or you're simply looking for an educational family outing, this exhibit offers a wonderful opportunity to spark curiosity and inspire future explorers.
