176) Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historic Park

Visited: Wednesday, October 23, 2024

Tomorrow, we'll be going to the Air Force Museum, which I haven't seen in many years.  While this NPS site is nice, I'm not sure it stands out as much as a tribute to the Wright Brothers as does the museum.  The site is modern and fairly inclusive - there are three visitors centers, two of which were open today (the main one in Dayton and the small one overlooking Huffman Prairie, where they did a lot of their work and where the statue to them is located).  And the main visitor center is the only place that really focused on Paul Laurence Dunbar.  Oh, _and_ there's a parachuting section as well.  But these different items tend to clutter the place, at least for me - it was a worthwhile stop, but I can't particularly imagine heading back.
