Glenn H. Curtiss Museum, Hammondsport, New York, United States
Glenn H. Curtiss Museum, Hammondsport, New York, United States Glenn Curtiss began his career as a builder of bicycles and then, motorcycles. In 1907 he became the "fastest man on earth" when he attained a speed of 136.4 MPH on his V8 powered motorcycle. An exact reproduction of this bike is one of several Curtiss motorcycles that are on display. On July 4th, 1908, Curtiss gained notoriety of a different kind when he flew his flying machine, named the "June Bug", a distance of over 5000 feet to win the Scientific American Trophy. This was the first pre-announced, public flight in America - a feat that earned him pilot's license # 1. A full-sized reproduction of the "June Bug" is one of several historic aircraft on display.
In addition to motorcycles and aircraft, visitors will also see antique tools, toys, boats, and much more. There's something here for everyone!

We went to see this museum specifically.
The presentation and information were well done.
The movie added a lot of detail and context about early aviation.
I really like the flight simulators.
The bicycle -> motorcycle -> balloon convergence and Alexader Graham Bell and Henry Ford connecttion versus Wright (wrong?) brothers was very interesting.
I was surprised by the number of 'seaplanes', at the early stage of flight.

Lovely gem if you're in the area! A very nice museum, well put-together and crafted with love. Has a large collection of old vehicles (motorcycles, cars, and plenty of planes). You'll probably learn quite a lot here, I know I did!
There's even a restoration shop in the back where they've been actively restoring an old plane.
