The first successful sustained
powered flights in a heavier-than-air
machine were made here by Wilbur
and Orville Wright on December
17, 1903. A 60-foot granite
monument dedicated in 1932,
is perched atop 90-foot tall
Kill Devil Hill commemorating
the achievement of these two
visionaries from Dayton, Ohio.
A visit should
include touring the museum exhibits,
participating in a ranger conducted
program, touring the reconstructed
camp buildings and first flight
trail area, and a climb up Kill
Devil Hill to view the memorial
pylon.
