[i]Concerned that the museum named after native son Neil Armstrong might close in the face of state budget cuts, Wapakoneta-area officials have joined forces in hopes of taking over day-to-day operations of the facility. The Ohio Historical Society is trying to get local groups to assume daily operations of the Armstrong Air & Space Museum and 16 other historic sites to save money. Gov. Ted Strickland has proposed $5.4 million for the society's sites and museums operations budget next year, down from this year's $7.2 million. The historical society has promised to keep the Armstrong museum open at least through July 20, the 40th anniversary of Armstrong's historic moonwalk. But if it can't find a group to operate it after that, the museum may have to close, at least temporarily.[/i]
