Dayton Highlights (Wright-Dunbar Center) July 4, Part 2 (July5, 2021)

 

First time visit to the very interesting (and free I might add) look at the work of the Wright brothers  (aviation, bicycles and printing), plus the life of their friend and noted author/poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar. As an added bonus the museum also has the Parachute Museum. I have photos from all three sights there. The glider is a replica but the items of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the printing equipment (which is mostly Wright owned and used) and the items from the Parachute Museum are all authentic. 

The Wrights did some printing in the museum very building, and their 4th bicycle shop is right next to this building. That will be for another time, that time being...tomorrow. Thank you for visiting.
