The Curtiss story comes to life at the 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 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.  The collection includes  A full-sized reproduction of the “June Bug,” other historic Curtiss aircraft,  motorcycles of many eras and manufacture, and interesting Hammondsport/Keuka Lake history.
