The monument restoration started on Decem(the day after the 104 th anniversary of the first heavier than air powered flight) and included cleaning the interior and exterior of the granite pylon, repointing the exterior mortar, painting the stairs as well as renovation of the electrical and mechanical systems. "Now that the work is completed, the NPS will once again be able to provide visitors with opportunities to access the monument’s observation platform, which last occurred in 1993." "Through the initiative and support of the First Flight Foundation, the monument has been restored to first-class condition and the underlying moisture issues that were causing its deterioration have been corrected," said Murray as he thanked the Foundation for its efforts to preserve the nations’ air heritage. Superintendent Murray invites the public to join in the celebration, which recognizes the first facelift the monument has received in over a decade. To celebrate the completion of the project, the First Flight Foundation and the Outer Banks Chamber of Commerce will co-sponsor a ribbon cutting event at Wright Brothers National Memorial on June 25 at 10 a.m., followed by an opportunity for visitors to climb to the top of the monument on a first-come, first-served basis.
