In New Concord, Ohio, John Glenn’s restored boyhood home preserves the setting where he lived before enlisting in World War II and illuminates the lives of John Glenn and Annie Glenn. It connects John Glenn’s achievement as the first American to orbit the Earth with Annie Glenn’s role as a disability rights advocate and emphasizes their long partnership. Their story is placed within the broader experience of the Great Depression and the wartime home front, with living history presentations focused on everyday life. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2019, the site holds both national and local significance.
