The Wright Brothers Monument is in the distance, and in the foreground is the First Flight Marker, the granite boulder that marks the place that the first take-off of the first airplane was made. On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers first flew a piloted, heavier-than-air, powered machine. Approved by Congress in 1927, the Kill Devil Hill National Memorial includes the Wright Memorial Shaft, a sixty-foot granite monument. On over 300 acres, it was dedicated in 1932.
