One of the sites operated by the Dayton Ohio history society. We stopped at the Carillon Brewery for lunch before visiting the park. I had an excellent meat loaf with mashed potatoes and green beans. I also had cream soda.
Note: They use historically accurate 18th century recipes.

The meat loaf did not seem to have the tomato taste common to many recipes but was still soft and tasty. The mashed potatoes and gravy was good. The green beans were crispy and more flavorful than usual.

The park itself requires admission of $10 per adult or a historical society membership of $20 ($50 for 2 adults and 2 children) annually for unlimited admission to all historical society sites.

An excellent introduction to local history. Including the 1913 flood and the local conservancy district, which has prevented flooding since.

The park has a cafeteria, visitors center and displays with historic buildings, machinery, transportation and a national park building which contains the Wright Flyer.

Interestingly, for the last 2 years, a pair of eagles has nested near the aviation building.
