The National Soaring Museum is one of only two U.S. museums focused on motorless flight. Elmira, NY is regarded as the "Soaring Capital of America," in part because of soaring's central role for over 80 years in the social and economic history of the region, attracting individuals and associations from around the world for contests, lectures, symposia, and special events. The National Soaring Museum is a 37,132-square-foot facility located on the top of Harris Hill. We have expanded greatly since opening at this location in 1978, with an 8,000-square-foot Heritage Hangar, a large archive area and a gift shop which sells many NSM and aviation-related items.
