Carillon Historical Park, Dayton, Ohio (July 13, 2020)



Debbie and me visited the Carillon Historical Park, which is a favorite place of ours. It is also a remarkable place to visit and we have a great time. A wondertime time to visit is during the Christmas holiday when the park is all decorated. 
A favorite thing to see is the Wright Flyer III which is considered a vast improvement over the first Wright Flyer which flew at Kitty Hawk, NC. This plane is one of the most complete of the Wright aircraft on display with the most original parts. 
I have a number of items below with descriptions. These are just a few of what can be seen at the park.
