Small, relatively diverse population, great for aviation buffs; easy to get around

In a nutshell
Not the most happening of Ohio's cities, but still enough to keep you entertained. :-)
National Museum of the United States Air Force
20 Reviews Don't fail to take an outdoor walk to see historic aircraft displayed outside the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Leave the museum entry by the doors opposite the doors to the large parking lot to find the outdoor aircraft. Some of them that I photographed include a captured German...
3 Reviews Here, one can learn all about Dayton's past. All in all, 25 historic buildings have been painstakingly rebuilt here to create this "town".

They actually manufactured several models of bikes they designed, and they invented the reverse threads on the left pedal to keep if...
3 Reviews Huffman Prairie Flying Field covers 84 acres, and is one of four main locations in the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park.

With a variety of plants, a pond, and over three miles of hiking trails, this is a refreshing change from the city.
