There is a connection between Saline Valley and the Wright Brothers. For years the Wright Flyer, the first airplane to fly under its own power, was displayed at the British Museum in London. It was there because of a disagreement between one of the Wright Brothers and the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. The Secretary of the Smithsonian was Charles D. Walcott, discover of the Waucoba Spring Geologic Section, home to the famous Saline Valley trilobites.
