5 Reasons Soapstone is Better!
• Soapstone holds twice as much heat as metal. • Soapstone heat is steady, even and comfortable. • Soapstone has a proven record of durability. • It has beautiful color, texture and marbling. • Variations in the stone make each stove unique. Plus, no power is required, so you can enjoy radiant warmth regardless of the weather!
As a community museum, Curtiss is full of surprises. Each year in the holiday season the galleries are host to an outstanding collection of doll houses, miniatures, model trains and antique toys. Besides the sheer numbers, the variety can be staggering. Elaborate hand-crafted dollhouses shine alongside mass-produced cardboard units from the Baby Boom. A 19th-century Bliss House with lithographed wallpaper shares space with rough-hewn folk Photo by Kirk House toys. Easily half the miniaturists are men, and the exhibit often includes an elaborate miniature sawmill, in addition to model trains of every scale. The permanent exhibit includes an extensive antique doll collection. One museum trustee recalled an elderly lady in a wheelchair pressed against the glass, whispering, “I had a doll just like that one” – happily carried across the decades.
Curtiss Curtiss Museum is on State Route Museum 54 just southeast of the village of X Hammondsport Hammondsport – look for the huge Curtiss C-46 “Commando” from Bath World War II at the entrance! Hammondsport is about 15 minutes from Exit 38 on I-86, formerly Route 17 or the Southern Tier Expressway. Visitors from the Rochester area may take I-390 to pick up I-86. Those coming from the east on the New York State Thruway might get off at Geneva, follow Route 14 to Penn Yan, then go south on Route 54.
