WAPAKONETA, OHIO: MOONRISE ON I-75

BY JANET STEINBERG


OMG!  There it was… a moon-like structure that seemed to be rising out of Interstate I-75 at Wapakoneta, Ohio.  I was about to check off another must-see on my bucket list…Wapakoneta!

WELCOME TO WAPAKONETA


What is Wapakoneta?   
What is in Wapakoneta?  
Why would anyone want to travel to Wapakoneta?  
I realize many of you may be wondering the answers to the above questions. Therefore, I will happily give you my answer in two words…Neil Armstrong.

WORLD HEADLINES BEGAN IN WAPAKONETA, OHIO

Since that moment on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11 reached the moon, and the late Neil Armstrong set foot on the lunar surface, Armstrong has been my hero. Until this very day, almost 50 years later, every time I look up at the moon I am still in utter disbelief that a man walked up there.
