You can stand in the same place as Orville and Wilbur. Well, not exactly; the dunes and the sand have moved over time so everything you see is a recreation, even the really big dune with the monument.

If you're on the North Carolina Outerbanks, don't miss the Wright Brothers National Memorial. It's great and free! You can see a replica of the original plane and the actual original flight path. Well done exhibits and the geography itself reveals how determined and inventive the Wright Brothers were.

Well worth a visit.
