i have only passed through Columbus but I have spent some time in Dayton over the years.
Air Force museum is terrific. The size of some of the old jets will surprise you.
Is you do get to Dayton, they have a neat minor league park right downtown. Great way to spent a summer evening.
The Wright Brothers House is really cool. I was lucky enough to go to a few receptions there.

I don't know if the tour times will work but if they do it is well worth it.
