The Armstrong Air and Space Museum in Wapakoneta, Ohio, honors hometown hero and Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong, other Ohio astronauts, and all pioneers who made air and space travel possible.
The two-level museum features displays and artifacts of Neil Armstrong's life and career, including the Gemini and Apollo space suits he wore on his NASA space missions, and a moon rock collected by Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin during their history-making exploration of the moon's surface in July 1969.
Also on display are the Gemini 8 spacecraft Neil Armstrong flew with David Scott in 1966 on the first space-docking mission and the the first airplane Armstrong ever flew, a 1946 Aeronca 7AC Champion. the Astro Theater presents a multimedia production that brings the sights and sounds of space travel down to earth, and space shuttle and moon landing simulators allow people to test their spaceship-flying skills.
Related exhibits include a portrait gallery for all 24 Ohio astronauts and historical items from Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the first human to fly in space.
The Armstrong Air and Space Museum is an Ohio Historical Society site.
