A Cultural Landscape Report, as defined in the National Park Service’s NPS-28, Cultural Resource Management Guideline, is the primary document for guiding treatment of cultural landscape resources. The report documents the existing conditions, evaluates the resource’s significance and integrity, and provides guidance for its treatment. This cultural landscape report was written to provide treatment direction for the ongoing management and maintenance of Wright Brothers Hill. Much of the research for this document was conducted by a National Park Service intern for the preparation of National Register documentation for the site. Primary research was undertaken at the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site in Brookline, Massachusetts, and at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. A substantial amount of historical data was drawn from Ann Deines’ draft Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, Historic Resources Study. An on-site visit was made to assess, document, and photograph the resource’s existing conditions. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Natural Resources Manager Terri Lucas collaborated in the preparation of an inventory of existing plant material. The site is located on the outskirts of the city of Dayton, Ohio. The study area is bounded by State Route 444 to the north, Kauffman Avenue to the east, and Skyline Drive to the south. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base currently owns and maintains Wright Brothers Hill.
