If you are still in the Roswell area check out the museum in the Visitor Center. It's free and quite interesting. It has lots of information and exhibits from Robert Goddard's rocket work including his complete workshop and some early rocket engines.
We did the Roswell Museum that you mentioned yesterday... We spent a lot of time in the Goddard section.
Janet and I really enjoyed the entrance to the Goddard section. We know exactly where were were with our kids at 12:33am on December 7th, 1972 We were sitting on the Indian River on the western edge of the Space Center watching the Apollo XVII blast off to the moon.... it was the final mission. It was about 3 1/2 hours late firing.
We were in our 2 year old truck camper... I built a deck on top just for this moon shot. ABC News mounted a camera up their with us.
The kids were 9, 6, and 3....they'll never forget.
I took pictures of everything in the exhibit... some day they'll be in the trip report.
