Museum Spotlight: The Glenn Curtiss Museum, Hammondsport, New York You Should Know
Detroit. Stuttgart. Modena. To these mechanical metropoles should be added the town of Hammondsport, New York, in the state’s Finger Lakes region. There, at the southern tip of Keuka Lake, a man named Glen Curtiss built and raced some of the world’s first performance motorcycles and airplanes, transforming a sleepy rural town into a capital of industry for the first half of the 20th century. The Glenn Curtiss Museum presents this story through an impressive collection of winged and wheeled vehicles that can be viewed up close and personal.
