There is a super small inside gallery area. A bunch of exhibits were covered so you couldn't see them. The outside is a small village with two structures. It was cool to go in and see you those looked like. There are plaques with what is around the circle area and you can either scan the QR code to get that information or borrow one of their books to learn about it. I think that's pretty cool. I think there is massive room for improvement and making things just look nicer. I think those in charge could learn a lot from how the Great Council State Park was done. Lots of room for more hands and interactive things to keep the kids interesting in learning about our past. This could also spell more revenue from schools for Field Trips.

It is also located behind a shooting range, which is important, because when it is active, you have to take the long way around to get to the prairie and field. The road getting into the filed is pretty tight and can barely fit two cars. If you are going to the field or prairie there are two designated parking lots that you can park in, one on each side. The Prairie is maintained as a pristine botanical prairie with only a few exhibits, much the same way the Wright brothers found it in 1904. The perimeter or the field was marked with blue flags, which have since blown away and just have the flag poles remaining. You will find information boards along the perimeter of the field and a replica of the Wright Brothers hanger and aircraft catapult right behind the range. A bench to sit on it located in that area as well, facing the road. There is a restroom located near the field in one of the parking areas. This area has a few hiking trails in the prairie and just walking/running the road surrounding the field would give you a good workout. It is not very well traveled and somewhat isolated. It would make for some good running. Outside of the shooting range, it is a very peaceful spot. This is a good place for history buffs and ecological people alike to visit. It would probably be a better use of your time if you coupled it with a visit to the Interpretive Center, Wright Memorial, and/or the US Air Force Museum. You can easily make a day of it. I highly recommend checking this place out. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and sure that you will too Fun Fact: The prairie was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1990 and was opened to the public.

So, this place is awesome. It's like half railroad park, half Wright-brothers park, half historical…read moremuseum, and half outdoor garden-park. THAT'S FOUR HALVES!!!! I went here as part of a group, and they seem to get a lot of school field trips, but they're well organized, and it's a big place, so even with a ton of kids at the place, you don't feel like you're crowded. They have really great people working here, who are more than happy to answer your questions and explain things to you. I had like, fifteen minutes alone with the candle-maker lady and my son, and she entertained all of his questions and was really cool to talk with. They have a lot of Dayton-related history around NCR, and flight, and nuclear energy, and old automobiles. I bet it's a blast to work there. My favorite part though, was the outdoors area. It's just a really well maintained facility with lots of big old trees, and shade, and you can really just kick back and relax and chill out.

Overall, this is a cool place with very Disney-level animatronics and a unique carousel with a…read moreDayton-centric theme. (Check out the bag of dog food, potato chips, train/tram car, dog, and other cool things to ride in addition to just horses). NCR, National Cash Register was originally founded in Dayton and there is an impressive collection of antique cash registers, which were invented to "keep the bartenders honest". Outside is a really neat little village with various historic landmarks, log cabins, buildings, and mills you can walk into. I will say there was quite a bit of yard work going on and I think they were chipping a tree because the air was filled with debris and it was getting into our eyes and noses, making it difficult to breathe as we walked around out there. Inside the main museum was the safer place to be in terms of air quality. I really loved the replica of Orville and Wilbur's original airplane, housed in one of the outside buildings. My son was getting hangry, so we didn't spend as long as I would like in that building learning about aviation, but I thought the docent was very knowledgeable and I found it super interesting. He was an aerospace engineer and shares my passion for aviation. He also said that there was an eagle's nest out behind the building that housed the airplane, and the baby eagles were fledgelings, just learning to fly. How apropos!

This old quarry has been "repurposed" and is a great spot to "get away from it all" without going too far. A good-sized lake, a few easy to moderate trails (the rocky lake overlooks are nice!!) and plenty of parking are what you'll find.
