History and Significance of the Wright Brothers National Memorial

The Wright Brothers National Memorial incorporates the site of the first successful powered air flight in history-an accomplishment attained by Orville and Wilbur Wright, two ingenious mechanics from Dayton, Ohio, on December 17, 1903. The Wrights occupied the site, known historically as the Kill Devil Hills (Stick 1958: 267), on successive seasons beginning in 1900 (when they in fact spent only a day at the site) and ending in 1903, living and working in two temporary wood camp buildings. While Orville and Wilbur Wright returned to the area in 1908 for further powered-flight experiments and Orville returned again for tests in 1912, the greatest contributions to flight were glider experiments in which they learned to control flight during four seasons spent at Kill Devil Hills between 1900 and 1903 and a series of four powered flights in 1903.
