"Our residents have always grown up with this unbelievable landmark, and future generations will continue to learn about our hometown hero -- and he never wanted to be called that -- with continued inspiration."
The four-day festival to celebrate the 53rd anniversary of Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon officially starts Thursday, July 14th in Wapakoneta. During the annual event, there will be food, activities, and music either downtown Wapakoneta or out at the Armstrong Air and Space Museum.
