This next museum I’ve been too and it was well put together, and that is the Armstrong Air & Space Museum in the city of Wapakoneta. Explore outer space at the Armstrong Air and Space Museum named after the first man who walked on the moon, Neil Armstrong. The museum has a collection of initial space devices which were used in the very first space missions. There are several exhibits that will give detailed information about life in outer space. Children would love to visit the museum as there are a couple of interactive displays that will make them understand air and space crafts, plus there is a real moon rock there on display, off of exit 111.
Now, in the city of Jackson Center is Airstream Factory Terraport. Ever wonder how anAirstream is made? Come see how they craft every piece of the Airstream Travel Trailers, and how they really do put every one of those rivets in by hand.
