The Glass Pass Program

The National Museum of Cambridge Glass is a charter member of a program called the Glass Pass, which provides discount admission to many of the attractions listed below. You can read more about it on our Glass Pass page. Glass Pass members are shown below annotated with "***".

Museums of former Glass and Pottery Companies

Since many of the companies that manufactured glass were located along the Ohio river, it would stand to reason that when Museums were founded, they would be located nearby. Here are a number of Museums dedicated to various Glass and Pottery companies, within a day's drive of Cambridge.
