Commemorating the first center of glassmaking in the United States, the museum has hundreds of artifacts, some more than 200 years old. These delicate items, colored and clear, tell the story of an industry that once employed thousands in South Jersey. The museum is located at the WheatonArts Center, which is also home to an international Creative Glass Fellowship Program, the largest Folklife program in the Garden State, a Hot Glass Studio, several traditional Craft Studios, four Museum Stores, a 9,000 sq. ft. Event Center and a beautiful pond-side picnic grove.
