The Wright Memorial, of North Carolina granite,
is mounted on top of the principal dune of Kill Devil
Hills, where Wilbur and Orville Wright experimen-
o ted with their glider. On December 17, 1903, near
the foot of this hill, they successfully flew their plane
under its own power, the first flight of a heavier-than-
air machine ever made by man. At night the beacon
from the tower may sweep across four-mile-wide
Roanoke Sound from the Birthplace of Aviation to
the Birthplace of the Nation.
