Spend the day exploring the Wright Dunbar Neighborhood, where powered flight began.
In West Dayton, the Wright brothers built bicycles and talked enthusiastically around the dinner table about how to develop a flying machine. Explore the family history of the Wrights across three locations, tracing the journey from the inception of the airplane to the final years of the world’s first pilot. After walking the neighborhood, explore Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park.
The neighborhood walk is fully accessible and contained within a few city blocks. Park in the Dayton Aviation Heritage NHP parking lot and make a small loop returning to the National Park for a visit or lunch in the neighborhood.
