A unique history.
There’s something preciously rare about the Wright-Dunbar Business District. Here, two young innovators dreamed they could overcome the limitations of the earth. And they did. Here, one brave visionary dreamed he could transcend the boundaries imposed upon him by society. And he succeeded. Here, an undaunted group of citizens and entrepreneurs is transforming an aging neighborhood into a vital business district and thriving community.
A fascinating present.
Revitalizing this important gem gives luster to our aviation past and to Dayton. You’ll now find one of the most talked-about urban National Parks—The Wright-Dunbar Interpretive Center, the cheer of district-sponsored events, the intricate, Victorian facades of ready-to-occupy retail space, and boundless opportunities for development.
And a boundless future.
