      Rediscover Wright Brothers National Memorial, Kill Devil Hills, NC

       
      Rediscover Wright Brothers National Memorial!

      Over the next month leading up to Public Lands Day on September 24,
      we’re reintroducing you to our Outer Banks national parks and the amazing stories and experiences they protect!

      Ranger Beth shares what you can experience at Wright Brothers National Memorial.
      Watch Now
      When was the last time you experienced Wright Brothers National Memorial?

      Wright Brothers National Memorial is located in Kill Devil Hills and was established by Congress in 1927 in celebration of Orville and Wilbur Wright, two brothers from Dayton, Ohio, who taught the world to fly.  Our park is beloved by aviation enthusiasts, as well as those who love learning about the innovation, technology, and dedication it took to achieve what was once considered impossible. You can visit Wright Brothers National Memorial any time of year, or for special events like the annual First Flight Celebration on December 17, which commemorates the Wright brothers’ first successful heavier-than-air powered flight that took place in what was then called “Kitty Hawk” on December 17, 1903. 

      Whether you visit the park every year or haven’t been in a while, make plans to rediscover this amazing park:

      • Travel the first flight line – see how far Orville Wright flew during those first twelve seconds in the air! 
      • Explore the reconstructed 1903 camp buildings to see what life was like more than 100 years ago as the brothers tested their ideas. 
      • View or walk up to the Wright Brothers Monument. From the monument you get a 360-degree view of our beautiful island. (Note: The path to the monument is wheelchair accessible.) 
      • See the First Flight sculpture – the iconic first flight photo come to life in bronze! Did you know that our park has an accessible, tactile model of the 1903 Wright Flyer? It’s located in the Flight Room of the Visitor Center!
      • Experience the recently renovated historic Visitor Center to get the full story of how the brothers made the impossible possible. 

      PS: If you use social media, follow Wright Brothers National Memorial on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter to stay up to date with the latest park happenings! 

       
      Why Kitty Hawk?
      Have you ever wondered why two brothers from Dayton, Ohio, would travel all the way to the Outer Banks to try and fly?  

      Read on to learn more about what inspired Orville and Wilbur Wright to travel to these barrier islands in their quest for powered flight. 

      Learn More
       
      “Big Kill Devil Hill’s” New Look
      Extra, extra, read all about it: “Big Kill Devil Hill” at Wright Brothers National Memorial got a new look last year!

      Read on to learn about why this landscaping was necessary and how innovation is still making it’s mark in this park.

      Join A Ranger Program!
      Check out the schedule below for a list of ranger programs that will be offered at Wright Brothers National Memorial now through October 10! Limited programs are offered throughout the year; visit the park’s website before you go for the most up-to-date schedule.

      Wind and Sand 

      Step back in history during this short walk to the actual site of the Wrights’ first powered flights. Discover why the Wrights chose Kitty Hawk for their flight experiments and what life was like in the Outer Banks; learn about the events that led to the first powered flight on that cold December day, and the lasting impact their first flight continues to have on the world today. (Note: The path to the monument is wheelchair accessible.)  

      The Wright Legacy 

      Twelve seconds was all the Wright brothers needed on December 17, 1903, to show the world humans can fly. Those twelve seconds were just the start of aviation history and the Wright legacy. Explore the rest of the Wright story as you discover the impact that Wilbur and Orville had on history, the legacy they left behind, and how they are remembered in the world today.

      Because of our generous donors, we were able to help our park staff at Wright Brothers National Memorial print 2,000 Junior Flight Rangers books when supply chain challenges delayed their order this summer. The Junior Flight Ranger program helps kids continue the Wright brothers’ legacy of making the impossible possible by inspiring them to soar to new heights. Over 2,000 kids have participated in the program this summer!

      Good Advice from TopSide Marinas

      TopSide Marinas

      TopSide Marinas is a family owned marina company that is looking to buy and operate marinas – they are not a broker – and they would love to meet marina owners who are ready to sell. TopSide Marinas is A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR!

      Living through the pandemic in 2020, everyone experienced the feeling of being trapped within the premise of their house. Even homebodies were yearning to have a night out with friends. Gladly, it seems like boating was the answer many found to satisfy their craving for the outdoors and still keep in the safety of social distancing.

        Greg, You are very kind. This photo caught the evening when most of the charters etc, were headed back to get the next load of visitors. Marina was pretty busy most of the time.

        Beautiful photo Winston – no surprise, since all of your photos are excellent.

        Hope you enjoyed your time at Staniel. It is interesting to see how few boats were at the docks.

      Good Reads for the Maritime Community – St Albans Press

      A tale of modern day piracy on the high seas that had its roots in the second world war.

      During the last days of World War II, two SS officers desert the German army and sail with two dozen hijacked tanks to a South American dictatorship. Decades later the same regime, facing a mortal threat, hires a British shipping executive and a former British army captain to perform a daring act of maritime piracy. As the two young Englishmen ally with the elderly SS men, the present mirrors the past – and a remarkable crime on the high seas races to an explosive conclusion.
