Warren, Ohio - Moonprints at the Lunar Lander Replica As you've described right next to the McDonald's. The mock lunar surface footprints are pretty cool. [John M Jones, 03/11/2009]
Warren, Ohio - Neil Armstrong's First Flight This is the site where 6-year old Neil Armstrong -- later the first man to walk on the moon -- took his first ride in an airplane. At that time, it was the Warren Airstrip. The site is marked by replicas of all of the aircraft in which Armstrong flew, including replicas of Apollo 11's Saturn V rocket and a half-scale Lunar Module. [Trish, 08/06/2005][RA: Local volunteers also created a mock lunar surface under the lander memorial, complete with craters, by tossing a bowling ball into wet concrete. March 2009: Photo added.]
