Space Walk of Fame Museum

We at the U.S. Space Walk of Fame Foundation work to preserve the history of the U.S. Space Program through its Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and future Shuttle monuments located in Titusville’s Space View Park and the Space Walk of Fame Museum. As a non-profit organization, we have made sure that the museum stays free to the public and welcome you to come visit and see the wonderous, rich history that helps form the modern day U.S. Space program. But first, here is a little of our own history… The U. S. Space Walk of Fame was conceived in 1988 by local Titusville physician Dr. Doyle E. Chastain when he wrote a letter to the Titusville City Council suggesting such a project. With a downtown redevelopment program in progress and a desire to further enhance the area by taking advantage of the river front such a suggestion was welcomed by city council and the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency. Thus a seed was planted and ideas began to flow which resulted in the creation of a non-profit organization known as “The U. S. Space Walk of Fame Foundation”. A few civic minded individuals and space pioneers stepped forward as volunteers to take command of The U. S. Space Walk of Fame Foundation and a partnership was born between the Foundation and the City of Titusville, Florida. Through grants and other sources not considered normal revenue the city would provide the park infrastructure and the Foundation, in turn, would provide the monuments, plaques, mission logo markers and other space related items to carry out the river walk’s space theme.
