Daniel Goho Post 87 of the American Legion in Dansville, New York was established on June 16, 1919 during its organizational meeting.  The constitution was written and an application for a charter was signed by 39 men.  This was the first post in Livingston County, NY.  At that time they had no place to call home as meetings and other events were held in various building around the village.  Sponsored events included high school concerts, Boys State program, Scholarships, American Legion Baseball and Boy Scouts.

In 1938 they found a home of their own when they purchased the abandoned Baptist Church at 34 Elizabeth Street for $500 owed in village taxes.  After renovations done mostly by Legionnaires the new quarters was dedicated on July 18, 1938.

Originally opened June 4, 1921, the Star Theatre in Dansville, NY is a single screen old fashion movie theatre.  The first shows were black and white silent movies until 1927 when “Talkies” were first shown.  It has a full service snack bar that serves the best popcorn in the area.  It has been owned and operated by the Schmidt family since 1994.  At the end of last year they reopened again after a week installation of a new digital  projector and sound system.

Dansaire Corporation, which had settled in Dansville, hoped to make Dansville the home of the first real “family-type” plane.  It was called the Dansaire Coupe.

Assembly of the airplane was completed Jan. 10, and on that day the engine was run for the first time. Since that time numerous taxi runs and several minor adjustments and alterations have been made.

Dansaire Corporation believed their new plane—the Dansaire Coupe—had corrected many of the things inherently wrong with the small personal plane.  The loudest objections to small planes have been the cramped, small cabins and the difficulty getting in and tout of these cabins. This difficulty is experienced mostly by women and admitted by some men.  Most small personal planes preclude a man from taking his wife and child on trips because of lack of seating space. And tiny baggage compartments limit the amount of luggage permissible for week-end trips.

Dansaire Corporation was to put on the market a personal plane which had corrected all these inconveniences and therefore must appeal to the whole family.  It would offer (1) a large roomy seat up-front, wide enough for three grown people; (2) a door, larger than most car doors (45 Inches high and 50 inches wide), to permit getting into and out of the cabin with ease, and (3) a baggage compartment large enough to meet the needs of a family or the needs of a golfing threesome, golfbags and all!

As reported in the Dansville Breeze on Jan 23, 1947 Mr. White, president said plans are being made at the present time to exhibit the Dansaire Coupe at the New York Aviation Show to be held in New York City the first week in February.  Publicity released in connection with this show will spread the name of Dansaire and Dansville from coast to coast, Mr White added.

Following CAA licensing of the plane for experimental flights, the red and creme plane made several trial flights.  A Bell Aircraft Corporation test pilot was at the controls.  The plane was disassembled  and shipped to the National Air Show in New York City and was then trucked to New York City by W. B. Griswold.

George White, also announced that the public was being invited to a showing and demonstration of the new Dansaire Coupe, at Dansville Municipal Airport Sunday, March 23, 1947.
