Arrived at the museum, was told that the movie was getting ready to start and that it was 1 hour long. I thought "oh good lord, I am not going to want to watch a movie this long". I was wrong. The movie is very educational. You will learn that everything you thought you knew about the history of flight was wrong! lol So many interesting planes, cars, boats, motorcycles and other things on display.

Great history lesson. A 1 hour video gives information on rivaly between Wright brothers and Curtiss. Lots of great historic pics. This man moved airplanes at least 10 year ahead in the future of where they had been. Museum had bikes, motor bikes, cars and planes on display. Reserve at least two hours of time.

Incredible museum and actually dispelled all of our childhood beliefs about the first flight. Amazing man! Elon Musk of the past. Well worth the visit. the 1 hr long movie was extremely well done and sets the stage for the museum. Wish we could have learned this in school.

Two adults spent a Friday in mid-August at the Curtis Museum and had a wonderful time. The museum is huge and has so many interesting displays and actual planes, motorcycles and cars to see. Don’t miss the one hour movie on the life of Glen Curtiss, it is well worth your time. Also, don’t miss the P-40 airplane being restored in the back workshop. Museum volunteers have spent thousands of hours restoring/maintaining the items on display. A fascinating museum on early flight through WWII and a forgotten pioneer who should be credited with bringing flight to America, much more than the Wright Brothers.

The Wright Brothers were ahead about three years Glenn Curtiss, however the Brothers didn't disclose what the Brothers were about, while Glenn Curtiss worked with other people and allowed his ideas to be used.
After the entrance is the lobby, front desk, admission and the gift shop. Once passing the lobby is the Bike Shop, Bicycles, Motorcycles & Curtiss Automobiles (3). Here is where model aircraft start by planes, seaplanes and trainers. Above the ceiling are at least 14 model. At least 13 vehicles from 1916 to the 50's. There are motorcycles for the 1920's to around the 1950's.
Another Curtiss item was the 1938 Curtiss Aerocar automobile which was eight passengers. The restroom is next to the Glenn Curtiss Theater. Also is the Coat Room, a Noisy Area and a Emergency Exit.
There is a Restoration Shop to rebuild airplanes- one is a P-40E which is 3/4 size, a 1930's speedboat and two seaplanes that have flown from 1912 and 1919.
There is one seaplane aircraft-the 1917 American-that was to fly one weekend however the plane could fly on Keuke Lake, the engines were not enough powerful to fly. One year later the engines were powerful to fly 100 yards from the ground.
My visit was 3 1/2 hours. The museum is south of Geneva, New York. Start on R14 south for south for about 14 miles. Turn Right onto R54 , keeping toward Penn Yao south. Turn Left on R54, then turn Right South for 25-26 miles. After the miles pass South a traffic light, with a large Curtiss cargo plane, turn Right with the museum onto a gravel driveway. I learned that using a GPS unit was the best way for get to the museum.
I recommend about two hours.

Very interesting museum. I am not a person interested in airplanes, but I thought this was a very interesting visit. We started by watching the video, which I found a good way to understand the museum and life of Mr.Curtis. The display is organized in a way that you can follow Curtis development as an engineer and inventor. Loved the model airplanes.
My only suggestion would be to remaster the video because it is not that easy to understand.

Very great, informative, interesting museum. Housing a variety of items from bicycles, motorcycles, planes, even a couple of boats. Many motors on display. Was on our way out of the Finger Lakes/Watkins Glen area and had to stop. Everything on one floor. Easily accessible. Gift shop - get your 'fastest man on earth' shirt as a souvenir. Even provides local history of the area.
