IndiaNeil Armstrong's childhood home in Wapakoneta, Ohio, has been put up for sale for $430,000 after nearly 40 years since it was last on the market. The two-story house, built in 1908, was purchased in 1988 by Karen Mikesell, a retired history teacher, who has preserved its historical significance and connection to Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon. The house retains much of its original structure and features, including a front porch, a garage built by Armstrong and his father, and a space where Armstrong tested model airplanes. Mikesell learned about the home's connection to Armstrong after purchasing it and dedicated herself to maintaining its historical integrity. The house has hosted notable figures such as Buzz Aldrin and has become a point of interest for visitors to the Armstrong Air and Space Museum. Mikesell hopes the new owner will continue to preserve the home's legacy, though it is not legally protected from changes.
