Museum of American Glass

Just off the road in Weston, the free Museum of American Glass is a colorful surprise worth a stop. Start with a selfie beside the massive vintage glass mural outside, then head in to see more than 20,000 pieces, from Depression-era vases to a five-foot, 13-room stained-glass dollhouse. Kids can dive into hands-on activities, while collectors will appreciate iconic Fenton and Blenko works like fruit jars and glass gear shift knobs from the 1940s. Don’t skip the quirky National Marble Museum collection!

Shelves filled with ceramic owl figurines arranged in rows by color gradient, from warm reds and yellows at the top to cooler blues and greens, and ending with browns and neutral tones at the bottom.
