National Park Service

Inside The Wright Cycle Company building.

Dayton Aviation 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. All of these sites are National Historic Landmarks or are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
