Hello all -

I had the chance to visit the terrific Glenn Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport, NY and was very impressed! Great collection of aviation, bicycle &motorcycle, automobiles, machinery etc, etc. artifacts! Beautifully executed and a real delight to visit.

I remember when the Curtiss museum was two rooms and a bit of hallway in the Hammondsport Town Hall. And I last visited the current museum at least ten years back, before I moved south and then west. Looks like a big improvement since those days! I hope to get back to upstate NY next summer, I'll have to make a pilgrimage. Thanx for sharing!
