Carillon park is a a must see, full of local history in a variety of categories so there is something for everyone. They have the original 1905 Wright Flyer III, Orville Wright himself helped to put the flyer back together and it is using a large amount of original parts, he also helped design the viewing area. In addition to history on the Wright Brothers, there is also the first and last truck off the line from GM's Moraine Assembly. There is also a viewing of figures (animatronics) from Dayton history discussing so you can see how they were connected to each other. You will also learn many unique inventions from Dayton ones you never even probably thought about not having existed such as tabs on pop cans, in addition to a lot of automotive innovations such as the electric self starter. The cash register was also a Dayton invention along with many more things. I highly recommend visiting. Also Google Dayton inventions you'll be shocked how many there are. At Carillon Park there is also Culp's Cafe a retro style diner as well as Carillon Park Brewing Company, even if you don't like beer or don't want dinner (the food is excellent though) take a peek in and check out the brewery, it's a historical brewery and they use 1800's methods.
