without seeing all sights. This town became famous when Wright Brothers made history when they flew first airplane here in 1903. The Wright Brothers National Memorial is made of granite, rises 61 feet into air and is focal point of this town. A 314-acre national park honors this momentous event with a flight museum and an airstrip. Take one of air tours of Outer Banks. Its a spectacular, and exciting way to get a bird's eye view of these islands. The Visitor's Center, is a gorgeous glass covered structure that showcases a replica of that simple canvas-covered 605-pound doubled-winged plane, which Orville Wright flew on that history-making day. Looking at it today, it's hard to imagine that it could even get off ground. A popular attraction for kids and adults alike, is kite flying. One of reasons Wright Brtothers picked this area was because it is so windy. This makes for consistently soaring kite flying. The Park Service supplies simple box kites and 20 feet of string. It's normal to see dozens of kids and adults (acting like kids) laughing and with huge smiles on their faces, with their own flying contraptions in a pleasant five mile an hour breeze. When you visit, be sure to make time for touring various museum exhibits. You can even attend a ranger conducted program, take a tour of reconstructed camp buildings and first flight trail area, and climb up Kill Devil Hill to view memorial pylon.Located on Outer Banks of North Carolina, Nags Head and Kill Devil Hills offers residents and visitors alike, a unique and relaxing environment with plenty of fascinating, and fun things to see and do year-round.
