John and Annie Glenn Historic Site, New Concord

I was driving along National Road, which is today U. S. Highway 40. One of the towns that I was lucky enough to visit was New Concord, Ohio. As I was driving through town, I saw a sign for the John & Annie Glenn Historical Site. Not being in any hurry, I decided to stop and visit. This is the home where Astronaut and Senator John Glenn grew up. Parking down a side street behind the home. I entered on the lower level of the home and was greeted by a very nice lady who welcomed me and explained how the tour worked. I paid my $6.00 senior admission and began my tour by watching a short film which was interesting and informative. After the video I made my way upstairs where the home has been returned to it’s 1962 appearance. The house features period furnishings and several artifacts that belonged the Glenn’s. This was a wonderful tour and I ended up spending a little over an hour on site. Everyone associated with this site immerses themselves in telling the fascinating story of Senator and Mrs. Glenn. It was a wonderful story, and I would encourage anyone who is in the area to stop and visit the John and Annie Glenn Historical Site.

Excellent location to stop and spend the afternoon. We visited this location twice so far and plan to go back again in a couple of years when they change out the first floor to reflect another time period. STAFF WAS EXCELLENT! Thank you. Full review and video on our blog site.
