We
visited
this
awesome
visitor
center
in
the
month
of
December,

2023.
Dayton
Aviation
Heritage
commemorates
three
exceptional
men—Wilbur
Wright,
Orville
Wright,
and
Paul
Laurence
Dunbar—and
their
work
in
the
Miami
Valley.
Through
the
invention
of
powered
flight,
Wilbur
and
Orville
made
significant
contributions
to
human
history.
In
their
Dayton,
Ohio,
bicycle
shop
these
two
men,
self-trained
in
the
science
and
art
of
aviation,
researched
and
built
the
world's
first
power-driven,
heavier-than-air
machine
capable
of
free,
controlled,
and
sustained
flight.
The
Wrights
also
perfected
their
invention
during
1904
and
1905
in
their
hometown
of
Dayton.
Dayton
Aviation
Heritage
National
Historical
Park
is
a
partner
of
the
Paul
Laurence
Dunbar
State
Memorial.
Paul
Laurence
Dunbar
achieved
national
and
international
acclaim
in
a
literary
world
that
was
almost
exclusively
reserved
for
whites.
This
gifted
and
prolific
writer
produced
a
body
of
work
that
included
novels,
plays,
short
stories,
lyrics,
and
over
400
published
poems.
His
work,
which
reflected
much
of
the
African
American
experience
in
America,
contributed
to
a
growing
social
consciousness
and
cultural
identity
for
African
Americans
in
the
United
States.
