THIS BEAUTIFUL SMALL TOWN HOLDS TREASURES YOU'LL WANT TO SEE!

Wapakoneta, Ohio is one of the most charming, beautifully-restored small towns in America. It's also where Neil Armstrong grew up before he took that "one giant leap" on the moon...what could be more Americana than that!? I'm not only going to dive into downtown Wapakoneta, I'm going inside the privately-owned boyhood home of Neil Armstrong. This one's a Must-See! Welcome to Wapakoneta...enjoy!

@@HistoryMysteryMan Thanks he got a great reception in Ireland.Back around 1970 housing estates were named after the Austernaugts .A piece of moon rock given to Ireland was housed in a Musium.A fire burned down the building,and Dublin fire brigade shovelled ash and rubble and you guessed it,moon rock ended up in the city Dump.A piece today worth a lot of money.Neil had Scottish and Irish Roots.Micheal Collins also.

Go back and get some shots of the ballroom lol

Great idea!

Neil's boyhood home is beautiful, she has done a wonderful job of maintaining it.

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

It's absolutely incredible...thanks friend.

[@donolbers9446]

That Downtown is absolutely amazing. I wish my native Athens still had a vibrant downtown like that. Heck, I wish all towns still had a central center of activity, I really miss that.

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

Thanks again, Don. Are you talking about Athens, Ohio? Sorry if we've already had this discussion; at nearly 62, I have things I can blame it on! Some small towns get it, and some don't. It seems to come down to that...

@@donolbers9446 Got it...I believe we've talked about his before, now that I think about it. Athens, as I recall, is a pretty cool town...at least it used to be. Maybe I should check it out...

Will let me tell you a story, you always end with a cliff hanger.

That's sooo funny that you noticed that! Thanks again Greg!
