At the top of Kill Devil Hills in North Carolina is the Wright Brothers National Memorial. Dominated by a 60-foot granite pylon, the memorial includes a visitor center with exhibits detailing the brothers' aviation experiments, a replica of the 1903 Wright Flyer, and markers indicating the takeoff and landing points of their historic flights. Managed by the National Park Service, the site stands near where the Wright brothers conducted their pioneering aviation experiments, offering visitors a glimpse into the birth of modern aviation and the lasting impact of the brothers' innovative spirit.

You can see it, but you don't have to. But pure nostalgia, since the first flight supposedly took place here.

This was the hill from which the experiments were made
