What's New at the Museum

We're OPEN. Come on down.

Happy New Year to all. The Museum is open again during our normal hours (Saturday and Sunday, Noon-4:00pm). We are open for tours - groups of eight or more. For a group appointment, call Bill Summers at 951-850-0915.

Just a heads up - we will be open on Saturday, March 30th, but will be closed on the 31st (Easter Sunday).

Parking Lot Sale

The Museum held a parking lot sale on November 11, and it was a resounding success. We sold quite a lot of our excess Gift Shop inventory and realized over $3,000 to support the ongoing mission of the Museum. Thank you to all who came, and a big thank you to all who volunteered their time to make the sale such a success. Parking Lot Sale

Upcoming Events

Fenton Workshop: The next Fenton Workshop has not yet been officially scheduled. It will be sometime next year, but we haven't confirmed the date.

Inventory Project

Fenton Ivy Ball We are embarking on a project to update and photograph the inventory of the museum's collection. Kathi Jablonsky, a retired appraiser, will be the project coordinator.

Kathi has completed work on the Steuben collection and the paperweight collection. The next case to be worked on is the Verlys collection.

We are seeking volunteers to assist with this. This is an opportunity to learn skills applicable to appraising and museum practices. Volunteering your time is another way that you can support the Museum. If you are interested in assisting, please contact the Museum.

Article about the Museum from Redlands Community News

Our local "free" newspaper, which focuses solely on Redlands and the surrounding area, recently published an article on the Museum. The publication, Redlands Community News, has given us permission to post the article here.

Video Video of the Historical Glass Museum

Here's a nice bonus - a 2018 video featuring a tour of the Museum, with our President, Steve Barnett and Ron Stark, "voice of the Inland Empire". C'mon inside and see what we have for you to experience. Watch and enjoy .

For an additional treat, here is an older video produced in 1995 by the late Huell Howser. Of course, there have been many changes to the Museum since then, but much of what you will see is still on display.
