The Museum Of American Glass in West Virginia
About This Museum
Folks wander into our little corner of Weston for all sorts of reasons—some are tracing their family's roots in the glassworks, others just have a soft spot for the way light catches in a well-made pitcher. They always leave surprised by the sheer scale of the story we tell here, from the early bottle blowers to the brilliant art glass that put West Virginia on the map. You can't help but feel connected to the thousands of skilled hands that shaped this industry, right here in these hills. It’s more than a museum; it feels like a community keepsake, a tribute to a craft that built towns.
Collection Highlights
You'll find everything from delicate Victorian 'Mary Gregory' pieces to the sturdy milk glass every local household seemed to own. Don't miss our 'Fostoria' room—seeing that elegant tableware takes many folks right back to their grandmother's dining table.
Visitor Information
We're right on Main Avenue in Weston, easy to spot. Pop in, take your time, and be sure to check out the shop on your way out; it's full of beautiful glass pieces and books you won't find just anywhere.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a solid, unassuming brick building that once served as a showroom for the nearby Summit Gas Company, it has the honest, working-class character you'd expect from this area.
