Visit the home that Lawrence County astronaut, Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom, grew up in. His boyhood home sits in the heart of Mitchell, Indiana. Inside, visitors will see time-period decorations and items that were actually owned by Gus and his family.
Tours through the home are free, but donations are welcome and will go towards keeping of the home.
