Why glass grew here
The museum's history traces Solomon Stanger's 1779 glassworks and later Whitney glass production. Sand, clay and fuel helped make the industry possible. The museum's site itself once lay within the Whitney Brothers Glassworks area.
Objects worth a closer look
The collection page highlights historic bottles, including the Heston and Booz examples. Glass pieces connect local work to wider American consumption and design. Ask volunteers about current displays and available group tours.
