Glenn Curtiss and June Bug Legacy Memorial

The Glenn Curtiss and June Bug Legacy Memorial honors aviation pioneer and Miami Springs founder Glenn Curtiss as a symbol of innovation, exploration, and community building. A full-scale bronze figure presents Curtiss in early 20th-century attire, his forward-looking stance reflecting the quiet determination and visionary spirit that shaped his contributions to American history. Complementing the sculpture, the June Bug Legacy Memorial is a walk-through metal structure modeled after the wings of Curtiss’s historic June Bug aircraft. Integrated timelines and biographical elements invite the public to experience Curtiss’s life, ideas, and achievements through an immersive educational journey.
