The Armstrong Air & Space Museum is usually closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but the Wapakoneta staple decided to keep its doors open to end the new year right.
Residents were able to go through the museum for an experience that staff hopes alleviates stress after a tough 2021.
"It wasn't that long ago that we were closed and we didn't know when we would reopen or even have visitors again," said Dante Centouri, Executive Director of the museum. "It's wonderful to end the year on a high note and see people in here... even with the pandemic, our attendance for this year was really good. We probably had over 35,000 people which is not a bad year even when you consider a pandemic."
The museum is also gearing up for a big 2022, as the year will mark their 50th anniversary. Residents are encouraged to keep an eye on the website for details on the anniversary.
