The Wright Brothers National Memorial Visitor Center has national significance as one of the original and most influential examples of the visitor center, a new building type pioneered by the National Park Service as part of the Mission 66 Program. Mission 66 introduced visitor centers and other new ideas in park planning and design to meet the demands of increased visitation in the mid-twentieth century. Designed by the firm of Mitchell/Giurgola, the building is also nationally significant as an excellent example of the Park Service modern architectural style.
