We're living in the midst of Dayton's renaissance. The once sleeping giant is now awake on the exterior of the Arcade. The former NCR World Headquarters is occupied by the University of Dayton. Business is moving back into the core of downtown. Join Generation Dayton for an evening at Carillon Park with featured presenter Brady Kress, President and CEO of Dayton History. Learn about Dayton's rich history and how our small community has changed the world. 

After the presentation join us for a tour of the new Heritage Center of Leadership and a few featured exhibits.

Carillon Historical Park celebrates how Dayton, Ohio, changed the world. The Gem City is home to the airplane, the automobile self-starter, the cash register, the first internationally acclaimed African American poet, the National Football League’s inaugural game, and so much more. By the turn of the 20th century, Dayton had more patents, per capita, than any U.S. city, and one-sixth of the nation’s corporate executives had spent a portion of their career at legendary Dayton company National Cash Register (NCR).

Dayton’s extraordinary history has undoubtedly impacted billions of lives. With a hand-carved carousel, 4-D theatre, trains, slides, living history experiences, thousands of artifacts, extensive educational programming, and so much more, Carillon Historical Park brings Dayton’s past to life in a way that is fun for the whole family!
