Wright Brothers National Memorial at Kill Devil Hill
Full Description
This photograph shows the Wright Brothers Monument in the
distance on Kill Devil Hill and the granite boulder that marks
the place that the first take-off of the first airplane was
made. On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers first flew a
piloted, heavier-than-air, powered machine in North Carolina.
Approved by Congress in 1927, the Kill Devil Hill National
Memorial has the Wright Memorial Shaft, a sixty-foot granite
monument. On over 300 acres, it was dedicated in 1932.
