Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park
The 4th bike shop that the Wright Brothers operated is a fixture of Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park. Come see the bike shop where the Wrights fixed bicycles and refined their mechanical ingenuity to develop the world's first practical airplane.
The fourth bicycle shop operated by the Wrights is the only building remaining as testament to the bicycle business. It is also in this shop in which the Wrights' passive interest in flying turned to active research and development. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1990. The Wright Cycle Company is located next to the Wright-Dunbar Interpretive Center. When visiting the Wright-Dunbar Interpretive Center, ask a ranger about the next guided tour that you can attend. Visitors will be able to walk in to the bike shop and hear a ranger speak about the history of the shop and the Wright brothers.
