Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park
Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, National Historical Park in Dayton, United States.
The 86-acre park encompasses multiple locations dedicated to aviation pioneers Orville and Wilbur Wright, featuring their bicycle shop and testing grounds.
Jerry Sharkey purchased the last Wright brothers' bicycle shop for $10,000 in the 1970s, initiating preservation efforts that led to park creation.
The park includes the residence of Paul Laurence Dunbar, an African American writer who documented experiences through poetry and literature.
Visitors can start their exploration at any park location, with two visitor centers offering information about the Wright brothers' achievements.
The Wright Company factory within the park represents the first American facility specifically constructed for manufacturing airplanes.
