Booking a Hotel in Fairborn, OH

Visit beautiful and history-rich Fairborn! Located just outside Dayton, Fairborn is a rather quiet town with a strong aviation history.  This history extends all the way back to the Wright Brothers, which based themselves at Huffman Prairie, which is now part of the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park.  

Be sure to take in the sights at this historical park, where the Wright brothers continued the evolution of the Wright Flyer design, and where they trained hundreds of pilots.  A fun and educational site, this park eventually led to the creation of the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.  

The history of Fairborn, however, extends far beyond the Wright Brothers.  Before the settlers, the Adena peoples lived in this area; the Adena are known for their large earthen monuments, which are a must-see location while visiting.  Take a tour and learn how these monuments served a variety of culturally important roles such as for ceremonial sites, burial structures, and historical markers.  A few are at the Wright Brother's Memorial, overlooking Huffman Prairie, and Wright-Patterson Airforce Base is home to another.  Don't miss these unique photo opportunities while visiting Fairborn!
