Estate sale underway at home of John Glenn

He made history. Now, you can own one of his cowboy hats.

An estate sale is underway at the Maryland home of the late John Glenn.

Glenn was a U.S. Senator from Ohio for 24 years. He was born in the Buckeye state and died in Columbus in December 2016 at the age of 95.

He also became a national hero in 1962 as the first American to orbit the Earth.

This weekend, there is a crowd at his home in Potomac, Maryland.

Local news media report people touring Glenn's three-level house and buying items for sale, including cowboy hats, pipes and model airplanes.

The sale continues throughout the weekend.
