The Glenn H. Curtiss Museum is a transportation museum in Hammondsport, New York with a focus on the early aviator Glenn H. Curtiss. The 60,000 square foot facility has a collection of aircraft, vintage motorcycles, automobiles, and aircraft engines.

History

The museum was founded in the summer of 1962 by Otto Kohl.[1] It was originally located in a former high school.[2] However, in 1992, the museum relocated to a former winery building south of Hammondsport.[3]

Collection

The museum contains over 20 aircraft, including AEA June Bug (reproduction), Curtiss Model D (reproduction), Curtiss Model E, "America" flying boat, JN-4D Jenny, Curtiss Model MF "Seagull", Curtiss Oriole, Curtiss Robin, C-46 Commando, three Mercury Aircraft, a 2/3 scale Curtiss P-40 Warhawk reproduction, and Curtiss-Wright Junior.[4] The museum also displays 16 automobiles, the majority of which are on loan.[5] Smaller collections include bicycles, wooden boats, and motorcycles.[6][7][8]
