The Wright Brothers/Hanby Family Connection

  • Hanby House 160 W. Main St Westerville, Ohio (map)

Did you know that the Wright family (Wilbur and Orville) and the Hanby family are connected through marriage? Orville Wright visited the Hanby House and received an honorary degree from Otterbein shortly before his death. He left two pieces of the Wright Brothers Flight History at the Hanby House to commemorate the connections. Come to the Hanby House Saturday between 1pm and 4pm to hear about the family connection and view these pieces of history.

(The Hanby House is located at 160 W. Main St, Westerville.)
