Both viewing locations are free and open to the public and there is no cost for parking. Visitors who come to view the eclipse are asked to bring and wear ISO Certified protective solar eclipse glasses.

Montgomery County is part of the rare 65-mile coast to coast “path of totality” where the eclipse will cut through the entire continental United States. A total solar eclipse is only visible from a small area on the Earth and can only be seen when the sun, moon and Earth are in a direct line.

The solar eclipse will start at 11:57am, the full eclipse, which will last approximately 2 minutes and 20 seconds, should begin at 1:26pm, and the full eclipse is expected to end at 2:52pm.

Richellen Park is located at 1466 Hwy 149 and Woodlawn Park is located 2910 Woodlawn Park Road.
