À quoi s'attendre

Glenn H. Curtiss Museum

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!

Musée Glenn H. Curtiss

Glenn Curtiss a commencé sa carrière comme constructeur de vélos puis de motos. En 1907, il est devenu "l'homme le plus rapide du monde" lorsqu'il a atteint une vitesse de 136,4 MPH sur sa moto à moteur V8. Une reproduction exacte de ce vélo est l'une des nombreuses motos Curtiss exposées. Le 4 juillet 1908, Curtiss acquit une notoriété d'un autre genre lorsqu'il pilota sa machine volante, nommée "June Bug", sur une distance de plus de 5000 pieds pour remporter le Scientific American Trophy. Il s'agissait du premier vol public pré-annoncé en Amérique - un exploit qui lui a valu la licence de pilote n ° 1. Une reproduction grandeur nature du "June Bug" est l'un des nombreux avions historiques exposés. En plus des motos et des avions, les visiteurs verront également des outils anciens, des jouets, des bateaux et bien plus encore. Il y en a pour tous les goûts ici !

We recently took an overnight trip from Rochester to nearby Hammondsport NY, and one of our main goals was to visit this museum. I thought it would be an interesting stop for an hour, but it was even better than I expected, and we stayed much longer! The museum was not at all crowded around noon on a Saturday in June, although groups kept wandering in and out. There is plenty of parking available in the lot. We were very courteously welcomed at the front desk and given tips on how to tour the museum. Although we wandered a bit first, we found ourselves in the museum's center theater, were a documentary about Glenn Curtiss plays on an endless loop. We wound up stay for the entire showing (50-60 mins). I won't go into Curtiss's entire history here, but suffice to say that he was an inventor who had a role developing motors for bicycles, motorcycles, early RVs...and planes. The Wright Brothers may have been first in flight, but Curtiss quickly surpassed them in his achievements, including the first flight from Albany NY to New York City. The museum is built around Curtiss' many achievements. It is a large warehouse type space with numerous vehicles included, some original, some replicas. (Many of the displays contain mannequins of Curtiss and some of the other key figures; I wasn't crazy about these, as they looked somewhat fake and seemed unnecessary.) There is also a section for children with interactive activities as well as a surprisingly large (and reasonably priced) gift shop. Overall, I think that this museum is worth a visit for anyone, but especially those with an interest in aviation and American history.

Spent over 3 hours here thoroughly enjoying ourselves. Watched movie first then moved on to the remainder of the museum. Didn't think I would like it, but was I ever wrong. Found out so much info on the beginning of aviation that I wasn't aware of. Also enjoyed seeing some of Curtiss' other inventions. I would highly recommend this museum for everyone.
