What to expect
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!

I wish we had viewed the documentary film first before wandering through all the exhibits. We were not aware of the amazing history of Glenn Curtiss and all of his inventions and feats. He is not as well known as the Wright Brothers but he should be. The documentary...
What an amazing experience! I wish we had viewed the documentary film first before wandering through all the exhibits. We were not aware of the amazing history of Glenn Curtiss and all of his inventions and feats. He is not as well known as the Wright Brothers but he should be. The documentary film was an hour long but was filled with amazing photos and history. The only downside was the sound quality of the film. The main narrator was clear but the two other narrators were not. We really would have liked closed captions.This was a great highlight to our visit to the Finger Lakes! This Amazing museum shared information about a man whom everyone should…but probably have never heard about! My hubby is an international airline captain and had never heard of him! Curtiss was an aviation hero! We loved this museum!

The well curated displays provide a valuable learning experience. I came away with a new understanding of this important piece of scientific history.

There was a nice hands on corner for the kids to play in and make paper airplanes as well. Watched a P40 Warhawk being restored. Really cool place. A must see.
