| Text from the Curtiss Museum website
.................................... Glenn Hammond Curtiss was born in Hammondsport, N.Y. in 1878. His given names, chosen in honor of the town founder and the glen which graces the head waters of Lake Keuka , forever link him to his birthplace.

His early mechanical prowess and exploits in speed with bicycles, motorcycles and flying machines made him the thinly disguised model for the series of boy's books known as "The Adventures of Tom Swift".
Hammondsport was the site of Curtiss' bicycle and motorcycle shop, and his early experiments in aviation with Alexander Graham Bell including the flight of the "June Bug" in 1908 which won Curtiss the "Scientific American" trophy and later U.S. pilot's license number one.

In 1912 Lake Keuka was the scene of the first successful flight of a flying boat which, together with his sale of the first aeroplane to the US Navy in 1911, earned Curtiss the title of "The father of Naval Aviation".
In the early decades of the 20th Century Hammondsport was a center of American aviation, attracting people from around the world to engage in the design, manufacture, and flight instruction of flying machines, flying boats, and dirigibles.

During WWI Hammondsport was a twenty-four hour a day arsenal producing OX5 engines for the famous Curtiss "Jenny", trainer for virtually all U.S. and Canadian pilots. WWII saw renewed patriotic effort as the Mercury Aircraft Co. of Hammondsport produced tail assemblies for the P40 War Hawk (aka "Tomahawk", "Kitty Hawk", and "Flying tiger") manufactured by Curtiss-Wright, the successor company.
Glenn Hammond Curtiss was laid to rest in Hammondsport's Pleasant Valley Cemetery in 1930.
