About Glass The work of MAGWV is possible ONLY with the support and
participation of people like you. Whether your interest is as a collector,
student of history, descendent of a glass working family, or general interest
in the preservation of our past, MAGWV has something to offer you and needs
your support! About the Museum of American Glass (MAGWV) MAGWV is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt not-for-profit
organization located in Weston, WV. Our
mission is to share the diverse and rich heritage of glass as a product and
historical object as well as telling of the lives of glass workers, their
families and communities, and of the tools and machines they used in glass
houses. The Museum contains representative samples of glass
products as widely varied as pressed and blown tableware, art glass, bottles, marbles,
insulators, automotive glass, glass eyeballs, and much more. There is
also equipment and tools which were used in glassmaking. We preserve the history of the places and
people who made these products. The Museum examines the rich history of some of America's
most famous glass factories, while carefully understanding the impact that the
hundreds of smaller and oftentimes forgotten glass houses made on the history
of the glass industry. MAGWV displays many of the diverse and beautiful objects
produced by factories during the past century, attempting to compare and
contrast similar pieces produced by once competing companies. No other
public collection offers such contrasts on a large scale. |
