Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park
Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park consists of four units that tell the stories of Wilbur Wright, Orville Wright, and Paul Laurence Dunbar. At the various units you have the opportunity to experience the historically refurnished Wright brothers' printing office, walk through an original Wright brothers' bicycle shop, see the Wright brothers' third airplane, follow Wilbur and Orville's footsteps at the Huffman Prairie Flying Field, and experience Paul Laurence Dunbar's last home.
We suggest you start your visit at either the Wright-Dunbar Interpretive Center or the Huffman Prairie Flying Field Interpretive Center. At each facility you can see a film on the Wright brothers, view exhibits on the Wright brothers, learn about Paul Laurence Dunbar, and get oriented to the other park sites.
