A partnership between the Dayton Aviation Heritage Commission and the Rubicon Park Master Plan Committee will run a trolley tour of Rubicon Park and other Dayton historic sites, providing an educational view of the city's past. The tours will run Oct. 14 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Oct. 15 from noon to 5 p.m. The loop tour includes six stops beginning with Carillon Historical Park. The tour will roll onto the UD campus for a stop at the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception, make a stop in Woodland Cemetery, swing past downtown Dayton's Fifth Third Field and continue to the Wright Dunbar Village and the Paul Lawrence Dunbar House before returning to Carillon Park. The non-stop tour will be narrated by National Park rangers.
Riders can board the trolley at any point and continue on to the next stop.
The tour continues in a one-way circuit. The trolley tour is free. Tourists can catch a glimpse of a model of an early edition Wright brothers plane at Carillon Park. Woodland Cemetery is also hosting its Discover Dayton Day Oct. 14. Actors will be dressed in period costume and performing as the Wright brothers and reading from the works of Paul Lawrence Dunbar.
