The Historical Glass Museum is a museum of glassmaking. It is located at 1157 North Orange St. in Redlands, California.[1]
The Historical Glass Museum was established in 1977 when the Historical Glass Museum Foundation purchased an Edwardian home, built in 1903 by Jerome Seymour, a woodworker and architect from West Virginia, to house the future museum's collection, amassed by Dixie and Doc Huckabee.[1] The Foundation encouraged other collectors to donate to the Huckabees' collection, and the museum opened to the public in 1985. The collection currently comprises 6,000 pieces of glassware,[2] making it the largest collection of American-made glass west of the Rocky Mountains.[1]
