But it s more than just a street with a name.
Many don t know that the road, which intersects with US Highway 441 near the Eustis/Tavares line, was named after Lake County’s first and only astronaut.
Working toward his Eagle Scout rank, 17-year-old James Feuerstein of Mount Dora has made it his mission to create awareness and build a memorial in honor of Walker.
“I’m going to be building a memorial for David Walker, who is an astronaut from Lake County, the only one so far,” Feuerstein said. “He’s also an Eagle Scout and I’ve always been interested in the space industry and just wanted to honor a Lake County hero. I’m finding that a lot of people don’t know who he is.”
