Glenn H. Curtiss Museum

Hammondsport's favorite son set an unofficial world speed record on a motorcycle of his own design and sold the U.S. Navy its first aircraft — and this 57,000-square-foot museum is where that story lives. The Glenn H. Curtiss Museum holds a collection of antique airplanes, engines, motorcycles, and boats drawn from the life of an aviation and motorcycling pioneer who, newspapers once declared, was the fastest man on Earth.
