Glenn H. Curtiss Museum

The Glenn H. Curtiss Museum is a 60,000-square-foot aviation and motorcycle history museum at 8419 NY-54, Hammondsport, NY 14840, at the southern tip of Keuka Lake in the Finger Lakes. The museum preserves the legacy of Glenn Curtiss, the pioneering aviator and motorcycle racer who set the land speed record of 136.4 mph on a motorcycle in 1907 — then the fastest a human had ever traveled. Collections include early aircraft, original Curtiss motorcycles, vintage automobiles, hydroplanes, and engines. Hammondsport itself is a charming lakeside village and the hub of Keuka Lake wine country.
