Leander McCormick Observatory in 1890
The Leander McCormick Observatory is one of the astronomical observatories operated by the Department of Astronomy[3] of the University of Virginia, and is situated just outside Charlottesville, Virginia (US) in Albemarle County on the summit of Mount Jefferson (also known as Observatory Hill). It is named for Leander J. McCormick (1819–1900), who provided the funds for the telescope and observatory.
