Museum Built in His Honor
At the time of Neil Armstrong's first step onto the Moon, then Ohio Governor James Rhodes proposed to build a museum in Armstrong's hometown of Wapakoneta in his honor. The museum also was to honor "all Ohioans who have attempted to defy gravity."
Today, exhibits detail the feats of the Wright Brothers and Ohioan Astronaut John Glenn.
