Muzeum Glenna H. Curtissa

Glenn Curtiss rozpoczął swoją karierę jako konstruktor rowerów, a następnie motocykli. W 1907 roku został „najszybszym człowiekiem na ziemi”, osiągając prędkość 136,4 mil na godzinę na swoim motocyklu z silnikiem V8. Dokładna reprodukcja tego motocykla jest jednym z kilku wystawianych motocykli Curtiss. 4 lipca 1908 roku Curtiss zyskał rozgłos innego rodzaju, kiedy przeleciał swoją maszyną latającą, nazwaną „June Bug”, na odległość ponad 5000 stóp, aby wygrać nagrodę Scientific American Trophy. Był to pierwszy wcześniej ogłoszony publiczny lot w Ameryce – wyczyn, który zapewnił mu licencję pilota nr 1. Pełnowymiarowa reprodukcja „June Bug” jest jednym z kilku historycznych samolotów na wystawie. Oprócz motocykli i samolotów odwiedzający zobaczą również zabytkowe narzędzia, zabawki, łodzie i wiele innych. Jest tu coś dla każdego!

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!

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.
