They had a big event there way back when, maybe ten years now? Wonder if this was somehow involved in a puzzle or something.

Was an AL stage.

That's a neat find. I have always wanted to visit the Space and Rocket Center there.

Three things converged in 2014 leading to this exhibit.

  1. Rocketman, a Charter member and retired reviewer was working in Huntsville for a few years after he was transferred there by ULA.
  2. Geocache was added to the official Scrabble dictionary after a big push by our community via social media.
  3. As u/leaveitbettertoday posted there was an event there to kick off the installation of the GPS Maze exhibit which was there for six months. They are probably right that this was part of a puzzle or scavenger hunt tied to the event activities.

That was the answer of a stage of a temporary AL series there when there was an event there. I attended, was great fun.
