Wright Brothers "First in Flight" Monument Outer Banks, NC
Taking you on a back-entrance adventure to one of the Outer Banks' most iconic landmarks. The Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills stands proud on the exact grounds where Orville and Wilbur changed history forever on December 17, 1903.
Fun fact: These genius brothers didn't just pick the Outer Banks randomly - they chose these dunes because of our steady winds and soft sand (perfect for crash landings!). Those same conditions that brought them here helped launch the first powered flight of 120 feet, lasting 12 seconds. Talk about a game-changer.
Made the climb up the Big Hill to the 60-foot monument, and let me tell you - the views are INSANE. You can see why the Wright brothers picked this spot. The whole Outer Banks stretches out before you, from Kill Devil Hills to Kitty Hawk.
Not bad for a couple of bicycle mechanics from Ohio who turned this sandy hill into the birthplace of aviation!

    My opinion is that was one of the best adventures we’ve been taken on. Summer is ridiculous! Haven’t been in a long time. Did love it at a point when I was younger. Sunset Grille was best restaurant I’ve ever been to. No memory of the food but the atmosphere was wonderful. Duck is a precious little town. I enjoyed every minute of the walk. It was so special!!

    I used to go to the Duck Deli until it closed during COVID. What’s there now is a tourist trap. Love to walk the soundside docks with my dog. Otherwise Duck is only for the well heeled now a days. Hillcrest Beach access is a private beach for folks with beach labels on their cars. Come warm weather only folks who pay for their labels are allowed. Sorry….

    Duck is in Dare County. Currituck County begins just North of Sanderling. I have been a homeowner nonresident of the town of Duck for nine years. Winter is pretty desolate. Spring and fall are excellent times of the year to visit. Summer has become a congested, busy time of the year since covid. I live in Richmond, VA. First came to the OBX as a child in the 1960s Went to Hatteras by ferry before the bridge was built. In the 70’s I return to the OBX to surf the Hatteras Lighthouse break. For the next 35 years I returned to the OBX yearly as a tourist with my parents, then my wife and children until I took the plunge and bought a house in Duck in 2017. I love what you are doing with your videos and watch the all since I for found you on UA-cam. Just one bit of the town of Duck History for the next time you visit. Where you started your walk the neighborhood to your right is Four Seasons. Originally a KOA campground was located on that spot and the Wee Winks where you got the sandwich was the end of the road. There was an actual gate in the road immediately past Wee Winks with an unpaved road heading north. I am not a local but my OBX history and your love of the OBX makes me feel like a local. A BIG Thanks to you!

The Town of Duck is a beach community, less beachy than most of the areas viewed on this site, but that is what is so appealing about the OBX. There is a place for everyone. I do agree with you, Duck is Rich in so many ways!
