Ranger Guided Tours of Dayton's National Park
NPS / Tom Engberg
Visit Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park for ranger programs during the summer months, typically from Memorial day through Labor day. Tours are normally available at the Huffman Prairie Interpretive Center and the Wright-Dunbar Interpretive Center. A park ranger will offer an interpretive program at 10:30 am on various subjects that may include a neighborhood walk of the Wright-Dunbar neighborhood, the Wright memorial, Huffman prairie, the Wright bicycle company, Dunbar's poetry, and many other topics.
Due to staffing shortages and/or other circumstances beyond our control, tours may not be available every day. Please call the park prior to your visit to inquire if a tour will be scheduled for that day. We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.
