Group Visits

Guided Tours

Guided tours may be scheduled during regular museum hours and last approximately 45 minutes. Tours focus on early aviation, local history, and the creative genius of Glenn H. Curtiss.

SELF GUIDED TOURS

Groups who would like to lead their own tours through the museum space must schedule a self-guided tour with the Education Department by phone or email. This allows us to prepare for the group and to assure access to all Museum exhibition spaces, including the Restoration Shop. Please make reservations for self-guided visits at least two weeks in advance.

The Curtiss Museum is pleased to serve as a center for community activities. The museum rents its facilities to any community organization, with the stipulation that museum artifacts and displays will be treated with respect. Private individuals, organizations, groups, businesses or community organizations wishing to rent the facility primarily for entertainment or fund-raising, can be accommodated if the proposed use is consistent with the museum’s responsibility to provide a safe and secure environment for its artifacts.

Contact the Museum and ask to speak with the Special Events Coordinator or the Director to determine availability of the area you wish to rent.
