I visited the Niagara Aerospace Museum located in the old terminal of the Niagara Falls International Airport. It is next to the old Bell Aerospace plant and Calspan. The collection includes airplanes, helicopters, examples of engines and rotor assemblies and other items. The collection centers around the Curtiss and Bell aviation industries. The museum has a website you can Google. They accommodate school groups and the curators are very well informed about the items in the collection and aviation in general. I post a few pictures here of some items in the collection. They do not have an X-1.
I am not sure if all the EXIF data will show. I can only see some items. I used Nikon D7200 with Nikkor 16-80mm f2.8-4 lens. I used mainly aperture priority f8, shutter speed down to 1/30th. VR on. Auto ISO to 3200. No flash or tripod. Thanks for looking. Comments or critiques welcomed. YNY.

Another aviation museum I'll have to add to my bucket list. Especially like how they have the Jenny displayed. Looks like the lighting is pretty good for getting decent photographs.

Thanks for the pictures, I enjoyed your tour of the Aerospace Museum. I appreciate that you identified the various aircraft. A lot of the times when people post photos of a museum or car show they don't tell us what we are looking at.

Thank you all for your comments. I made sure to write down or photo information so I could label photos. The museum is small but well kept. It is all indoors. Free parking. The displays are well arranged given the space available and the explanatory signs offer quite detailed information. There was enough light for most of my photos but I was using low shutter speed and VR. There was only one where I had to adjust shadows, brightness or contrast. I will go back and try to take some that include more of overall layout. The not too far away Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park in Buffalo NY has a few additional aircraft as well as a cruiser, destroyer and submarine. It is on the waterfront and there are many other outdoor activities in that area. YNY.
