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 here about the family connection and view these pieces of history. This program is in honor of the 2024 Sunrise Rotary Club of Westerville Field of Heroes theme – Ohio Heroes of Flight.

The Westerville Historical Society‘s historic Hanby House, 160 W. Main St., is open from 1-4 p.m. every Saturday through the end of September.
