The Historical Glass Museum Foundation was founded in 1976 by Dixie Huckabee, and a group of interested glass collectors. In 1977 the Foundation purchased a 1903 Victorian-style home at 1157 North Orange Street in the picturesque city of Redlands. It was the beginning of a dream to preserve specimens of American glass from factories that were becoming extinct, as well as factories and glass artists currently producing glass. It took the Foundation nine years of hard work and fundraising to open the Historical Glass Museum to the public in 1985. The Museum now houses the largest collection of American-made glass west of the Rocky Mountains.

VIDEO OF THE MUSEUM

We present to you a tour of the Museum via video, courtesy of the Inland Explorer. We hope that this encourages you to plan a visit when you are in the area.

For an additional treat, here is a 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.
