Pay a visit to Wright Brothers National Memorial

Visit the Wright Brothers National Memorial at the Outer Banks to see where Orville and Wilbur Wright first took flight as well as where they made their landings. Reconstructed structures like a hangar and living quarters that give tourists a peek of what life was like for the Wrights in 1903 are among the area's attractions.

The Wright Brothers Monument, which is located atop Big Kill Devil Hill, where the brothers tested their gliding experiments, is another attraction in the region. Visit the visitor center, a National Historic Landmark with a ton of hands-on exhibits, to find out more about the brothers and their quest to fly.

Visit Jockey's Ridge State Park after exploring the memorial, which is located about 5 miles to the south. You can better understand why the Wright Brothers choose the Outer Banks when looking for the best circumstances for their flying experiments by visiting the state park, which is renowned for its tall sand dunes and fierce winds.
