Wright Brothers Memorial — Attraction in Bath Township

The Wright Brothers Memorial is across from the Huffman Prairie Flying Field Interpretive Center. This was commemorated on August 19th, 1940 which was Orville's 69th birthday. It is circled by short walls which have plaques on them at certain places. On the top of some of them are arrows showing the direction to look for what they are referring to. I was surprised to find that there are also 3 Adena Native American Mounds on the same property very near the Memorial. There is also a plaque dedicated to the pioneer flyers that were trained at the Wright Brothers field. If the trees could talk, what stories would they have (or maybe grass and dirt).

You would find plenty of benches to sit down at and to relax to enjoy the day while you're here. There is a scenic overlook that shows you the Huffman Prairie Flying Field which you can visit. Take a moment and reflect on the excitement the Wright Brothers created. We can now fly across the world in hours all because they flew...

Blink and you'll miss this beautiful memorial area that's tucked away off of Kauffman Ave. It's got a breathtaking view of the Huffman Dam area, spacious and well-groomed areas to sit and enjoy the surroundings, and even has a small trail area to hike along if you feel like traversing nature a bit more.

The placards surrounding the monument provide great historical, appreciative information and the grounds themselves are ideal for a quiet, reflective time without having to be frequently interrupted...
