Wright Day of Celebration
Special Event at Greenfield Village®
Can you run as fast as the first airplane? Or crank up a replica of an early wind tunnel? Immerse yourself in stories of flight and family with special access to the rarely seen spaces used by Wilbur and Orville Wright, plus activities and talks with our historians.
Explore a special tour of the Wright brothers’ home and their cycle shop next door, including the rarely-seen second floors of each building. Then step outside to try your hand at a replica of their wind tunnel, one of the tools that helped solve the mystery of flight.In the machine shop, learn about the Wrights, plus machinist Charlie Taylor, and discover how they made their heavier-than-air flying machine. Finally, find out how the Wright home and cycle shop came to Greenfield Village with a special presentation about their preservation.
Join the celebration and experience the years that led to the historic first flight with this forward-looking family.
