Third grade students at Kenton Elementary School visited the Armstrong Air and Space Museum in Wapakoneta this week.

They watched a movie, took a tour and listened to special speaker Karen Mikesell, who owns the childhood home of Armstrong in Wapakoneta.

She has become a semi-expert on Armstrong and shared lots of stories about his life.

On the tour, the students saw Armstrong’s space suit, a moon rock, space food and how they went to the bathroom in space.

The trip was made possible by the KES PTO.

More pictures from the exciting day can be found here.
