Another nice campground in a beautiful setting.
The Glenn H. Curtiss Museum was amazing. To be honest we had never heard of him. He ia pioneer in motorcycles, and had more to do with early flight than the Wright Brothers.
Note the plaque below about the lady in the car. We always heard of Amelia Earhart.
He was also responsibile for the early RV's.
The museum has volunteers who not only lead tours, but also work on restorations. The plane above was recovered from the swamps in Florida some 4 years after it crashed. They have been working on it for 2 years.
This is an all wood replica of a biplane. They actually disassemble the plane each year to remove it from the museum, then reassemble and fly it at an annual event in Bath.
Bicycles, car and motorcycles have come a long way!
This motorcycle was carved from wood.
This is a Studebaker sleigh.
After having lunch at one winery we toured the Pleasant Valley Winery Co. It is the oldest winery in the U.S. and the first American winery to be bonded to produce wine. The making of wine is a very long process -- can't say we have ever been in a winery but it was interesting.
This is a wine tasting room for dignataries and other prominent visitors. Notice that none of our group was invited to sit at the table!
