Location is what put Dayton at the economic and recreational heart of the Midwest. With over half the nations population and manufacturing capacity within 500 miles of Dayton, it is no surprise that the region hosts significant industrial, aerospace, technological and engineering research. Companies like CareSource, Cargill and Cox Enterprises are but a few of the businesses that keep Daytons economy humming. Another contributor to Daytons economy is nearby Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Named in part to honor the Wright brothers, Wright-Patterson is the headquarters of the Air Force Materiel Command. The base is also home to a major Air Force medical center and the Air Force Institute of Technology. Located next to Wright-Patterson is the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Tracing the history of human flight from the Wright brothers to modern space flight, this museum is a wonderful way to spend several hours. Once you have viewed the Air Force Museum, head over to the Dayton Aviation Heritage Park. This national treasure tells the story of flight by combining four amazing venues, the Wright Cycle Company, the Wright Brothers Aviation Center, the Huffman Prairie Flying Field and Interpretive Center and the Paul Laurence Dunbar House. If you want to spend some of your free time among natures beauty, Daytons Five Rivers MetroPark system offers fun activities in any season. For a calming walk among the flowers, stroll through the Wegerzyn Gardens, the Cox Arboretum and Aullwood Garden. The Park also features ten natural areas with rivers, prairies, wetlands and so much more. Here you can hike, mountain bike, bird watch or just commune with nature. Daytons dedication to arts and culture is nationally renowned. The Dayton Art Institute is not only a wonderful museum, but admission is free to the public.FROM I-75, TAKE EXIT 44 (HIGHWAY 725/MIAMISBURG CENTERVILLE PIKE) EAST TRAVEL APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE AND TURN LEFT ONTO LOIS CIRCLEHOTEL WILL BE ON
