Birthday Party
Each year in August, we take a little time out to celebrate the opening of the Museum—along with Katharine and Orville Wrightâ€s birthdays—with cake and juice.

|
 |
|
|
Cake and juice are free to all comers—but in 2005, anyone who told us what dihedral was got free admission, too. |
