NATIONAL SOARING MUSEUM
Located at the top of Harris Hill in Elmira, 1700 feet above sea level and directly across from the Harris Hill soaring airfield, is one of only two museums in the country dedicated to motor-less flight.
Long regarded as the Soaring Capital of the World, Elmira started hosting national soaring contests in the 1930's. Popularity of the sport grew and during World War II, Elmira was chosen to develop a glider program to train pilots for the war effort.
Over the years it became clear that a dedicated museum was needed, and in 1969, the Soaring Society of America designated Harris Hill as the site for a National Soaring Museum. The museum now houses the world's largest collection of motor-less aircraft and is recognized as the primary historical institution for motor less flight in the United States.
The National Soaring Museum is an invaluable resource for those who love aviation history and another important stop along New Yorks Path Through history.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
