“First Flight” Lunar Module

Warren’s First Flight site features a half-scale Apollo 11 replica nearly 13 feet tall and 12 feet wide, and honors Neil Armstrong and astronaut Ronald Parise.
The First Flight Lunar Module in Warren, Ohio, is a half-scale replica of the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing Module, standing nearly 13 feet tall and 12 feet wide.
This monument marks the historic site where Neil Armstrong, at the age of six, embarked on his inaugural airplane ride on July 26, 1936, at the former Warren Airways on Parkman Road. This early experience ignited Armstrong's passion for aviation, culminating 33 years later in his historic moon landing on July 20, 1969.
Adjacent to the Lunar Module replica, visitors will find an Ohio historical marker honoring Dr. Ronald A. Parise, a Warren native and astronaut who flew aboard the space shuttles Columbia and Endeavour in 1990 and 1995, respectively.
