Mission Statement

Glassmaking is an enduring, global, diverse enterprise. As a window to the past, and a vessel to transport us into the future, glass study is justifiable and essential. The Historical Glass Museum Foundation´s mission is multifaceted:

1. Acquire, document, exhibit, and preserve representative samples of American glassmaking throughout history.
2. Research early glassmaking techniques and products, and develop an extensive library available to members, scholars, and researchers.
3. Create educational programs for young people to develop their interest in the glassmaking field.
4. Encourage and support artistic uses of glass through acquisition and displays of historic and contemporary examples of creative endeavor.
5. Educate the public about the current uses and future potential of glass by raising their level of awareness of the importance of glass in their day-to-day existence.
6. Sponsor classes in studio glassmaking and glass blowing and conduct seminars for the general public.
