The park was established by Congress in 1927 (then as Kill Devil Hills National Memorial) in celebration of Orville and Wilbur Wright, two brothers from Dayton, Ohio, who taught the world to fly.
The park is beloved by aviators and aviation enthusiasts alike and welcomes thousands of visitors each year. Wright Brothers National Memorial also hosts an annual First Flight Celebration on December 17, commemorating the Wright Brothers’ first successful heavier-than-air flight that took place in Kitty Hawk on December 17, 1903.
