Sherzer Observatory is an astronomical observatory owned and operated by the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Eastern Michigan University located in Ypsilanti, Michigan (USA). Established in 1878 with a gift from the citizens of Ypsilanti of a four-inch (102 mm) , $600 Alvan Clark refractor, the observatory located on Pierce Hall was hit by a tornado and destroyed in 1893. It was then relocated to the roof of the new Natural Science Building in 1903. The building and observatory was later named after William Sherzer, a science professor at the school who conceived the design for the new building after seeing similar facilities on a visit to Germany.
