Mission & Purpose
The mission of the Johnsville Centrifuge and Science Museum is to provide a world class educational and entertainment environment for the study of aerospace sciences where learning is an inspirational experience.
Purpose:
Our stated purpose is to establish, maintain and operate a premier science museum to serve the community by providing a learning center to study Aerospace Science and other related topics. It will endeavor to educate and inspire the youth, enlighten the population and entertain its seniors. It will acquire, restore, preserve and protect the centrifuge and other artifacts and archives related to the operations of the organizations, factories and laboratories that once operated at the site. It will do these things in an ethical, fiscally responsible and ecologically sensible manner.
