NPS makes Hawthorn Hill 6th Dayton site
Hawthorn Hill has a proud new status. It’s a new addition to the National Park Service list of important national sites, and the sixth NPS site in Dayton that contributes to the story of the Wright Brothers and the history of flight.
What kind of changes in the future can be expected with the inclusion of Hawthorn Hill as part of the National Park Service? The simple answer, according the Dayton History Executive Director Brady Kress is almost none - none that would be apparent to the community, the neighbors or the aviation history community. The legislation signed last week by President Obama places Hawthorn Hill (as well as the Wright Brothers factory, which was also included in the legislation) as a sixth piece of the Dayton Aviation Heritage Historical Park which is already part of the NPS.
Becoming an NPS site does not transfer ownership or control of the house to NPS, rather, NPS becomes a partner in the maintenance, restoration and support of this historic home. “That’s an important distinction to make,” Kress said. “Ownership and management agreement hasn’t changed, tours won’t change. It remains owned by the Wright Family Foundation and operated by Dayton History.”
“We totally own Hawthorn Hill,” said Amanda Wright, great grand-niece of the Wright Brothers. “but we look to the National Park Service as partners because of their expertise in restoration and preservation. Also, NPS can advise and provide such improvements as up-to-date security and fire systems, for example.”
Adding Hawthorn Hill to the NPS provides other important advantages. It’s a first step in trying to get federal monies and grants in support of Hawthorn Hill. It paves the way for furnishing restoration studies that will provide guidance and expertise in authenticating research and ensuring that the archival additions to the Hawthorn Hill accurately reflect the living arrangements concurrent at time the Wrights were in residence there. Also, designation as an NPS site symbolizes the site’s national importance as a historic treasure.
According to Kress, many furnishings original to Hawthorn Hill were left in the home by the family at Orville’s death. When Hawthorn Hill became a guest house for NCR,
these artifacts and furnishings were moved to the attic. Melba Hunt, a Kettering resident and preservationist who was involved in creating a museum dedicated to local historical artifacts, asked NCR for, and was given permission to, place these pieces in what we know today as the Kettering- Moraine Museum, located in Moraine at 35 Moraine Circle. In the past month, three to four dozen of these pieces have been moved “back home” to Hawthorn Hill. The NPS will be instrumental in advising Dayton History on the restoration and conservation of the pieces, and their placement in the house in their original locations.
The benefits derived from making Hawthorn Hill a National Park Service site enhances its stature as a recognized national treasure, adding one more piece to the Wright Brothers’ important contribution to the world of flight, and tying the history of flight more closely than ever to Ohio, Dayton and the City of Oakwood. “Dayton aviation history’s national park affiliation is unique. It is a collection of partners,” Kress said. “Each of the six sites are under the umbrella of the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, but are owned and controlled by different entities. Below is a list of the six sites, their owners and their operational managers.

Senior receives Eagle Scout Rank
Senior Michael Baumgartner has been awarded his Eagle Scout Rank and his religious Ad Altare Dei medal. Michael’s scouting career began at Oakwood Pack 151 then crossing over into his Boy Scout Troop 318 of St. Albert the Great Church. Michael is also a member of the Oakwood Lumberjack football team and parish member of St. Albert Church.
At his Court of Honor for his Eagle Rank, Michael was recognized for his accomplishments in scouting. He has earned three medals of his Catholic Christian faith: Light of Christ, Par Vu Lei Dei and Ad Altare Dei. He also led his troop at Philmont Trek and was a senior patrol leader, patrol Leader and instructor for his troop.
Michael’s Eagle project focused on helping his high school and his football team by refurbishing the visitor’s seats. Many of his football teammates, fellow scouts and adults helped with his project.
Michael plans to attend University of Dayton, Army ROTC, and will be studying mechanical engineering. Michael attended Cathedral in Cincinnati and was awarded his Ad Altare medal by Archbishop Daniel Pilarcyk.
The past three months have been a very exciting time for Michael as well as his family, friends, parish, troop and school. Michael’s troop, church parish and his family congratulate him on all his accomplishments with scouting and wish him well at college.
Girl Scout gardeners
Girl Scout Daisies from Troop 1707 at Lange School planted bulbs and pansies to decorate the grounds at the Oak Tree Corner center for grieving children at Far Hills and Schantz Avenues in Oakwood on March 19. The kindergarteners also donated cookies to the organization as part of a matching box-for-box sale to benefit the program for children whose parents or siblings have died.
