The museum is owned by the National Park Service, which operates at Kitty Hawk. The museum's expansion was made possible by a $250,000 grant from the Harry A. Toulmin, Jr. and Virginia B. Toulmin Fund, created in honor of the couple's son and daughter-in-law who helped secure the Wright brothers' patent for a flying machine. The couple lived in Dayton for 41 years, and their descendants are involved with the museum's development.

The Wright Brothers National Museum offers a variety of programs and experiences for children, families, and history buffs. The newly renovated Visitor Center features interactive exhibits on aviation, historic preservation, and STEAM-based activities. Guests are able to discover the personalities of Wilbur and Orville Wright and the challenges they faced as they developed the first airplane. The Museum also features a 1903 replica of the Wright Flyer, the world's first powered heavier-than-air aircraft.
