National Soaring Museum

The Story of Flight Without an Engine

Discover

The National Soaring Museum at Harris Hill near Elmira preserves the heritage of motorless flight. Its glider collection connects the history of soaring with aeronautics and the physical sciences. Instead of focusing on engine power, a visit invites questions about wing design, air movement, and the knowledge required to remain aloft.

Before you go

Plan museum admission separately from any flight experience.

Social

At the National Soaring Museum, aviation history takes a different route: motorless flight. Gliders offer a reason to look closely at the relationship between design and moving air.
