Saturday, June 26, 2021: Of course, a town named Glassboro would have had many glass making industries in its past! Nowadays, the downtown included the following attraction: Heritage Glass Museum, 25 East High Street, Glassboro, New Jersey (in Gloucester County) (856-881-7468). On one floor, I could view different kinds of glass in chronological order by going clockwise around the room. Here, they displayed glass from the 1700s to the current time. I looked at glass in the form of bottles, plates, and lids, as well as glasses, vases, bowls, paperweights, jewelry, a glass-beaded dress from the 1920s, etc. In addition, packed into this room were exhibits of glass making equipment, pictures, and texts about the history of glassmaking in NJ and other parts of the USA. This small museum contained a lot of things to see.
