Discover the intriguing history of these Finger Lakes towns from wineries and aerodynamics to legendary people like Glenn Curtiss. This historical work covers the periods from the 1850s to the 1960s, the period of black-and-white photography in this area. At one time Keuka Lake was host to a number of wineries lining the lake's shores. Several no longer exist, but through the pages of this book, one may look back and share in the magnificence of these businesses' hey days. A chapter is devoted to Glenn Curtiss, an innovative man who was building and testing airplanes at the same time the Wright brothers were working in aerodynamics. Hammondsport has definitely had a number of interesting characters and momentous occasions.
