Ken Schreiber bought Neil Armstrong’s boyhood home and plans tours by 2030 after donating $400,000 to restore it.
On Monday, former military pilot Ken Schreiber purchased Neil Armstrong's boyhood home in Ohio, donating $400,000 to the local historical society to preserve the site.
The property, a key part of Armstrong's early life, has never been open to the public, making preservation efforts critical to honor the astronaut's legacy.
Restoration plans focus on returning the structure to its 1940s appearance, with renovations targeting the childhood home's original architectural features and historical authenticity.
By 2030, the house will open for public tours, marking Armstrong's 100th birthday and offering the first public access to the astronaut's childhood home.
Schreiber hopes this effort will inspire future generations to preserve American heritage, honoring Armstrong's legacy as the first man to walk on the moon.
