Been going to Finger Lakes for years and never stopped by this hidden gem. Love it. The history in these walls was wonderful.

My dad has been bringing us here for many years! He also has some Antique cars that are on display here. My 5 year old has been coming since she was a baby and I'm not lacking great pictures over the years of her posing by all the airplanes! She wants to pilot one day like her grandfather!

What can I say? If you like vintage historical airplanes, (primarily prop), motorcycles and America this is the place. Huge old winery storage facility. Very nice thoughtful displays with interpretation. We go annually and always enjoy with the kids.

Glenn Curtiss was a contemporary of Henry Ford, Wright Brothers, etc. This place was impressive and I had no idea! Strongly encourage going!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I have a giant scale radio control monel air[lane, a Japenese Zero, which I would donate to your museum if you would be interested in displaying in the museum. I could send you a photograph. I'm trying to make room in my house.

Hi Ed, Thanks so much for thinking of us. Due to extremely limited storage space, we are currently not accepting large items to the Curtiss Museum collection unless they have a specific connection to Mr. Curtiss, his companies, or a have a direct connection to our mission or local community. Best of luck finding a new home for your Zero! Curtiss Museum

I hope to be doing some research so I can write a children’s Story about Glenn Curtiss. I’ll need to come a number of times. Is my best bet to buy a membership so I can come? How much is the membership?

Patricia Owen | Sep 29, 2018
Lance Reagan | Sep 29, 2018

It's $12 a visit. So I would get a membership. I only visited once, so I don't know how much a membership is.
