The Paul Laurence Dunbar Historic District Final home of poet Paul Laurence Dunbar at 219 Paul Laurence Dunbar Street in Dayton, Ohio, ca. 1940-1970. After Dunbar's death in 1906 his mother, Matilda Dunbar, continued to live in the house until her death in 1934. In 1936 the Dunbar house became the first state memorial to honor an African American.

Dayton Aviation Heritage National Park: Dayton, Ohio Dayton Aviation Heritage, a cooperative effort between the National Park Service and four partners--The Wright Cycle Company building and Wright brothers' print shop building; Huffman Prairie Flying Field; John W. Berry, Sr. Wright Brothers Aviation Center, which includes the 1905 Wright Flyer III; and the Paul Laurence Dunbar State Memorial--commemorates three exceptional men, Wilbur Wright, Orville Wright, and Paul Laurence Dunbar. Paul Laurence Dunbar was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio. He became friends with Orville Wright while attending Central High School in downtown Dayton. The Wright brothers printed a newspaper Dunbar published and edited aimed at the African American community of Dayton. Dunbar became an internationally known poet and author and was the first African American to gain wide acceptance within literary circles in the United States. This gifted and prolific writer produced a body of work that included novels, plays, short stories, lyrics, and over 400 published poems. His work, which reflected much of the African American experience, contributed to a growing social consciousness and cultural identity for African Americans in the United States. After travels across this country and abroad Dunbar purchased a house on what is now Paul Laurence Dunbar Street for his mother in 1904. He lived with her in the home until his death in February 1906. The Paul Laurence Dunbar House, a National Historic Landmark, is also one of several buildings in the Dunbar Historic District in Dayton.
