    Such a wonderful little gem of a museum. Got a great intro about the Dorflinger history & the gallery is gorgeous. So glad we went. Well worth the $5 entry fee.

    I try to attend the sale of Cut Glass during the Cut Glass event at the museum each year There are lectures on collecting glass but I haven't been able to attend. The Cut Glass pieces for sale are amazingly exquisite and beautiful. If you like beautiful glass art, the museum will not disappoint either.

    Excellently restored Factory museum. The skilled recreation of the factory setting from early American Brilliant Glass cutting by Dorflinger is impeccable. The displays and vignettes brings the viewer a powerful feeling of what it was like in the late 1800's to have been a glass cutter and the magnificent pieces they produced.

    A hidden in the open gem in Wayne County. Definitely worth a visit. Learn about glass industry in ne Pennsylvania, an amazing and too often overlooked history. Displays on how glassware was made, as well as examples of beautiful cut glass produced at the factory. Be sure to take the guided tour if it is offered.
