About the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum
Glenn Curtiss, an aviation and motorcycle pioneer, was instrumental in founding the U.S. aircraft industry. Curtiss started his career by racing and building motorcycles. He was crowned ?Fastest Man on Earth? in 1907 when his V8 powered motorcycle clocked in at 136.3 mph. Curtiss eventually began building his own aircraft and has been credited with making the ?seaplane? a practical reality. The Glenn H. Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport, New York, is a celebration of his genius and creativity.
The museum highlights more than just Curtiss?s successes as an engineer of transportation. It also features home furnishings, toys, fire equipment, boats, and antique tools authentic to his time. Come learn about transportation and history at one of the best museums in the Finger Lakes today!
