What's New at the Museum

We're OPEN on Weekends. Noon to 4pm.

The Museum is open again during our normal hours (Saturday and Sunday, Noon-4:00pm).

Admission is by donation. We have six rooms of glass, including selections of Depression, Elegant, Mid-Century Modern, Carnival, EAPG and Brilliant Cut. We also have a well stocked Gift Shop, where we offer selected items that are either duplicates of our permanent collection, or items donated specifically for sale to support the Museum.

If you have an interest in a group tour, use the "Contact Us" form on our web site and we may be able to accommodate you. Please be sure to include your contact information.

Help Wanted

The Historical Glass Museum is an all-volunteer organization. It is run by a board of directors, all amateur glass enthusiasts, local to the area, as well as members from all over California and even other States. Our docents are volunteers, trained locally. Docents usually volunteer for one or two days a month, and most have found it to be both educational and entertaining. We are always looking for more people interested in becoming a docent, or to help with other aspects of running a small Museum. Use the "Contact Us" form on our web site if you'd like to help.

PayPal® for donations

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.
