Yes, that was a great article. The bicycle shop and their family home when they were kids was moved and is still standing at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
I walked into the bicycle shop and there’s a propeller that Wilbur hand planed. I was nearly in tears, what an emotional experience. I’ve heard stories a piece of the original Wright Flyer went to the moon with the first astronauts.

My Dad and I felt the very same way, we were in awe, as we walked into the bicycle shop, located in Greenfield Village, on the grounds of the Henry Ford Museum. It was as if time stood still, and here we were in the shop. My Dad as a young boy, he was born in 1917, use to collect pictures of WWI airplanes and keep them in a cigar box. It’s well worth the time to tour Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum. I will never forget it.
