Carillon Historical Park is a 65-acre park and museum in Dayton, Ohio, which contains historic buildings and exhibits concerning the history of technology and the history of Dayton and its residents from 1796 to the present. The historical elements of the park were the brainchild of Colonel Edward Deeds.
I miss that tower, you could hear it miles away, on the weekend it would play music, not just a clock tower my dad worked at NCR when i was a kid we lived 3 blocks away from the factory, NCR had this beautiful park open to tge factory workers 3 Olympic pools 10' 6' and 3' diving boards I was very young in the 1960s i didn't dive or even swim yet. My dad walked to work every day. The Hospital was behind our house and we lived 1.5 blocks from the fairgrounds. So we always had some where to play. But i miss the bell tower.
It is a huge, beautiful and enriching cultural park that is very relaxing to visit. It represents Dayton's past industries, from printing press museum to early American store registers to the history of the Wright brothers, but it is sometime overwhelming and looks like a mishmash of everything that happened in Dayton in the early 1900. It's still worth visiting. in June 2024 the admission fee was $12.
THE SMITHSONIAN IS THE ONLY STRANGE CASE HERE. SHAME ON THEM FOR HIDING WHITEHEAD'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND NOT FREELY AND OPENLY SHOWING THE CONTRACT THEY SIGNED WITH THE WRONG BROTHERS.
The shame on the Wright Brothers is how much time and effort they spent trying to discredit Gustave Whitehead who flew 2 years before them in Bridgeport Connecticut. The WRONG BROTHERS should be ashamed of themselves. I think the eyewitnesses especially the 10+ people that signed affidavits testifying they saw Whitehead fly controlled flights in 1901, the Bridgeport Police logs about Whitehead flying overhead in 1901 and earlier, the fact that 2 different replicas flew in both America and Germany, the Museum to Whiteheads honor in Germany, the fact that Park Rangers in Kitty Hawk Memorial in NC privately told me he knew Whitehead flew before the Wright Brothers and then showed me a copy of Jane's Aviation to prove it, and that the Whitehead family who still live in Connecticut confirmed to me that Whitehead did indeed beat the Wright Brothers, should all be OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE that Gustave Whitehead beat the Wright Brothers in 1901.
By the way, Park Rangers in Kitty Hawk Monument privately told me that Whitehead did indeed beat the Wright Brothers. This video needs to be updated with the truth about Whitehead flying before the WRONG BROTHERS!
The strange case of the Wright Brothers lying and trying to defame Gustave Whitehead flying in Bridgeport Connecticut in 1901. And as early in 1899!! The WRONG BROTHERS were liars.
Surely, the only account we have that the Wright brothers flew that day in Kitty Hawk is by the Wright brothers themselves... and nobody ever after, not even themselves managed to fly their Flyer again... where at least there are at least some witnesses who claim to have seen Whitehead flying, to my account nobody ever confirmed to have see the Wright Brothers do the same as to much later... and their design approach was a dead end from the start...
I spoke with the Whitehead family who still live in Connecticut and they confirmed to me that Gustave did indeed fly in 1901 and posiibly as early as 1899.
No he would understand that racism persists. Ending it is more than a name change, a street name…” keep a plugging away “ He would not be at all surprised! And neither should you be! It’s 2924- still plenty of work to do. Get to it” Perseverance is still king.”
What a great show guys and thank you for sharing. I am very interested in the processes of making a brewer product (beer, ale, lager, whatever) accurate to the mid 1800's. I am currently growing five varieties of 1800's barley from small samples - growing out enough to brew with - in the area of Pickens County, South Carolina. I will be visiting you soon though. I would love to see this process in action.
Nah, behave yourself and you won't have to worry about it. School is for learning and to practice self control. Not act like a spoiled, woke brat who needs a boot in the tambourine if and when needed. Behave, and you won't have a problem. Schools were still practicing much of this when I went to school way back in the day.
Very impressive indeed, but it also shows how far behing American locomotive engineering was when compared to Stevenson´s Rocket and the following 2-2-2 "Patentee" type locos.
I never really researched Paul D. Outside of what they told us in School. However his name always stuck with me. And now 20 something years later I had the interest to find out more about him and I am impressed? Has anyone visited his home museum in Ohio? I wonder what really happened with him as to why he departed so young.
Ohio prior to settlement was either dense Forrest, filled with virgin timber that will never be replaced. Or vast swamps. The engineering of dams and canals drained the swamps and the use of timber to make coke for steel production destroyed millions of acres of virgin Forrest. The Native American word for Kentucky, which there were several versions, meant “ land of spirits. No tribe occupied this wilderness preserve as all tribes shared this neutral ground as a hunting preserve. There were and still are several prominent salt licks that attracted game animals. Also apparently there must have been wild sugar cane in parts of the preserve.
IT IS A SHAME WHEN WE DON'T NO OUR OWN HISTORY BLACK HISTORY/ GROWING UP IN THE SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES /ONLY HISTORY THEY TALK ABOUT WAS WHITE HISTORY/MY FOLKS HAD TOO PAY A HEAVY PRICE TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY THAT WE WERE BORN IN/I KNOW ABOUT RACISM I LIVE EVERYDAY/I LOVE BEING WHO I AM/A BLACK BORN IN THE SOUTH/I LOVE MY COLOR/AND YOU SHOULD LOVE YOURS/ONEDAY THIS WILL ALL END/ALL THE MONEY POWER WILL NOT HELP YOU/SO LIVE YOUR LIFE LIKE ITS YOUR LAST!!! 6/22/
Listen in the UK we get history lessons on Henry 8th and WW1 and WW2. We also get black history month in October. Paul Laurence Dunbar came up and his history facts on my FB and therefore thought to research this black poet from the last century. Very interesting. Had heard his name before but nothing more - got him confused with the black British composer, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (both from the Victorian era). Loved the poems this doc provided us. Hope to research some more. Most recently in the UK they are including some black history, even my generation's history within art, music and racism experienced. The BBC has shown some significant docs.
