Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park is a historical memorial park commemorating three historically significant American figures and their impact on the Miami Valley.

Those three individuals are Orville Wright, Wilbur Wright, and Paul Laurence Dunbar. The home of the Wright bothers, both born and raised in Dayton, was destroyed in the 1970s, and the last remaining bicycle shop had been moved to Greenfield Village, Michigan for display.

As a result, the city decided to construct a park in their honor, and in the process they also preserved the original home of Ohio born poet Dunbar, a good friend of the Wright brothers. Today, visitors can tour the park, which includes a visitor center, a museum, and several memorials.
