The Children’s Area

Kids will be so delighted to spot their favorite characters! Cartoons from television and movies are right here in the Glass Museum!

Glass toys.

Glass cars.

Even an enormous glass doll house!

Glass is so marble-ous!

There were several marble “machines” for kids (and adults) to enjoy!

Marble Run!

One of my favorite exhibits was the History of Glass.

In the back of the Museum, there is a shelf with about 30 or 40 drinking glass cups. Arranged and labeled by each decade; from the early 1800s to glass manufacturing today.

Touch and feel the History!

Pre-Civil War Glass
Great Depression Era Glass
Totally 90’s Glass

All said and done!

The Museum of American Glass in West Virginia is so incredibly unique.

100% transparent; The Glass Museum is COOL!

The staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

And it’s FREE of Charge!

Plan to spend at least two hours here.

This is a great stop for an iternary! Personally, I wouldn’t make a trip solely for the Glass Museum. Make it a “stop” on the way North or South. It’s right off of I-79!
