For this edition of Vintage Dayton, we gathered the best history work we’ve done on the program.
Did you know?
Here are a few great Dayton history facts we’ve learned from our stories:
• Westminster Presbyterian Church in Dayton has endured for 226 years, since it all started when First Presbyterian Church was organized in 1799.
• Several members of the National Inventors Hall of Fame have ties to our region, including the man who created Teflon.
• On Nov. 7, 1910, a freight airplane made a record-breaking flight, delivering goods from Dayton to Columbus. The flight covered 62 miles in one hour and eleven minutes.
• The Rike-Kumler company was established in downtown Dayton in 1853 and was a downtown Dayton staple for decades.
