About The Wright-Dunbar Interpretive Center Aviation Trail, Inc. Visitor Center and Museum

The Wright-Dunbar Interpretive Center Aviation Trail Visitor Center in Dayton celebrates the Wright Brothers' aviation legacy through exhibits and artifacts. Visitors explore displays including a Wright Flyer replica located in the lobby and learn about the brothers' groundbreaking work. The facility houses the Parachute Museum, which features exhibits on parachute history and includes a theater for presentations. The center occupies restored historic buildings—the Hoover Block and the Wright Cycle Company—which sit on their original sites where Wilbur and Orville Wright lived, worked, and invented the airplane. The surrounding Wright-Dunbar Village has been restored to reflect the neighborhood during the brothers' era. Families and aviation enthusiasts visiting Dayton can spend time walking through museum galleries and exploring the outdoor grounds. The center operates Wednesday through Sunday, with the National Park Service overseeing operations and site programming.
