Glenn Home Possible Historic Site

A New York graduate student is trying to get the birthplace of the late John Glenn nationally recognized as a historic landmark. Glenn became a national hero in 1962 as the first American to orbit the earth. He then spent 24 years in the U.S. Senate as a democrat from Ohio. He died last week at the age of 95. 24-year-old Adam Sackowitz wants to get the Cambridge home where Glenn was born in 1921 listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The graduate student from Westbury, New York, met Glenn several times over the past couple of years. Glenn is the subject of Sackowitz’s thesis. The Ohio Historic Preservation Board is reviewing the application.
