Formerly an active military base, the Grissom Air Reserve Base sits approximately 10 miles south of Peru, Indiana. The base was originally named the Bunker Hill Air Force Base, but was renamed on May 12, 1968 for Indiana native and Apollo I astronaut Lieutenant Colonel Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom. Get up close and personal with aircraft from the cold war, the F-4, climb the tower. Kid approved!
