FIRST FLIGHT GROUNDS.

Less than 100 feet west of the camp is a 10-ton granite memorial boulder

placed by the National Aeronautic Association in 1928 on the 25th

anniversary of the first flight. The boulder marks the take-off point of

the first flight and of the three additional flights made December 17,

1903. A reconstruction of the original single-rail starting track is

placed at the north and south sides of the boulder. Four numbered

markers north of the boulder designate landing points of the powered

flights made on December 17, 1903.
