Dayton History

While we wait for those chicks to grow and spring to arrive, let's take another trip to Dayton, Ohio. Yes, I know we've already been all around Dayton--the Boonshoft Museum, Dunbar House, Carriage Hill Metropark, Patterson House,--but we have in fact only scratched the surface. Above all these sites, Dayton is most famous as the home of Orville and Wilbur Wright. There are many fascinating places to explore the history of flight within the city. But did you know that writer Paul Lawrence Dunbar was connected to the Wright Brothers? I didn't either until I visited the Wright-Dunbar Interpretive Center in downtown Dayton. Let's stop there first to learn some Dayton history!
