John and Annie Glenn Museum

The John and Annie Glenn Museum occupies the childhood home of the astronaut and senator in New Concord, displaying objects and exhibits related to both their lives and achievements. The house reflects early 20th century living spaces and contains furnishings from the period when they lived there.

The house was where John Glenn spent his childhood before becoming one of the first American astronauts to reach orbit. The building later received recognition as a historical landmark because of the family's significant contributions to 20th century American history.

The museum shows how ordinary Americans lived during the space age and highlights Annie Glenn's work advocating for people with disabilities. Visitors gain insight into how personal courage shaped American society beyond just space exploration.

Visiting during weekday hours allows for a less crowded experience where you can explore displays at your own pace. Parking is available nearby, and the multi-floor layout means you should plan enough time to see all the rooms and exhibits throughout the house.

Period actors in historical dress move through different rooms portraying how people lived in various decades. This approach brings history to life and helps visitors genuinely understand daily routines from those times.
