wright brothers national memorial印象

Not to be missed if you are in the area. This moment in history is right up there with the signing of the Delcaration of Independence or Neil Armstrong landing on the moon and for this area to be preserved is an absolute treasure. Sure, it's mostly a draw for aviation buffs but for your wife and kids it has an awesome panoramic view of the Outer Banks. There is a bronze life-sized statue capturing the moment at the back base of the monument and a perfect replica that was donated inside the museum.

NOT ADA friendly. Thought we would pass out before we reached the top of the hill. Not much to see once you get there other then great view of area. BUT you can do that from some hotels or other locations.

We visited on the day after a winter storm. We were the only visitors there, The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating.

This is a very informative attraction pertaining to the Wright Brothers' flight. It's a small attraction so kids won't be overwhelmed.

Visited March 2015. This was a fantastic learning experience. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the gift shop had something for everyone. The indoor museum had great panels with lots of information and samples in them, and in the back was a replica of the glider and flying machine! They had portraits of all of the significant people in flight history, and they had a presentation every once and a while in there. Outside, they really tried to put you in the brother's shoes! From the markers to the statue to the hill, it was all fantastic! The view from atop the hill was breathtaking! I myself have a passion for flying, but the information and sights there is unbelievable for anyone, any age. Even saw a few dogs outside in the field.

The Visitor Center is appropriate for adults and kids with artifacts, stories, and history. The markers help to give an adequate appreciation as to the actual distances of each test flight. The memorial is worth the walk up the hill.

First went there in 1955 and returned in 2003 for the centennial celebration as part of the National Guard security force. Every American should visit this site.

On our arrival on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, we stopped at this National Monument. It was well worth the stop with a climb to the top of the hill, where the monument was and the tour of the museum. Because it was off season, we couldn't go up into the towering monument was it was a wonderful photo op.The history of it was really interesting; relating a story of two very self-determined brothers to discover how to fly.

At milepost 8 on the OBX highway you can stop at the Wright Brothers National Memorial, completed in 1932 to see the location of the historic "first flights" and the setting for the Wright Brothers years of glider testing prior. Impressive monument with commanding views of the surrounding Outer Banks lanscape. A great setting for a picnic, with nice facilities, and no traffic in the off-season!

We were impressed with the park. It was cold and WINDY here, we could picture the early fliers taking off in the wind of Kill Devil Hills. We got some awesome shots of everything in the park and nearby sites you can see from the monument.
