Wright Brothers National Memorial Description
In the dunes of Kill Devil Hills on Bodie Island (mileposts 7 and 8 on U.S. 158) is the Wright Brothers National Memorial where the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first powered flight in history on December 17th 1903. Their aircraft, piloted by Orville, rose into the air for 12 seconds, covering the short distance marked by the memorial stones. Close by are the brothers' two shed workshops, and in the Visitor Center is a documentary exhibition. The tall Memorial stands on the hill from which the Wrights launched experimental gliders.
