You can see glassblowers at work. Informative tour which when I visited was FREE! Afterwards, you can shop at their gift shop.

After 100+ years of producing hand- made art glass from this glass works in Williamstown, West Virginia, this iconic factory and historic company is closing down very soon, at the end of 2011, permanently. Perhaps a victim of the devastating economic conditions here (and many other places), the once famous Plant Tours are done now. There is nothing to see.... More

This was my second visit to Fenton and all of the glass is very appealing to the eye. There were so many options to pick from but you had to limit yourself. I could have easily left there and spent $200 or more but I picked wisely. The staff was nice and helpful. I'm planning on going there again soon.

Closing this year it is rumored.Still making beautiful jewelry, handmade of their glass. Go on the tour if you get a chance. Wonderful guide and lovely young lady who waited on us. Took lots of time showing us the jewelry.

I was told several GOOD things about the Fenton Art Glass Company before visiting this site, but once I arrived, I was very displeased. First of all, all of Fenton's decorative pieces are very pretty! We visited during the Fenton "Tent Sale" right after they announced Fenton would not be making decorative glass pieces anymore. The tent sale was a... More

I took a two hour detour from my vacation to visit the museum and see the demonstration. As soon as we walked into the factory store, two different employees saw us but never greeted us or even said Hi. They simply ignored us. We arrived around 10am and the next tour was not until 10:30. Since we had a little... More

I've visited Fenton several times, many of them as a child. Each time the shop becomes more commercialized and less about Fenton. The majority of glass pieces are Fenton made in WV. Now there is Fenton International which is made in China. So if you are looking for original Fenton that is hand made be sure to read the made... More

West Virginia has a long history of glass makers. Only a few remain today... Including Fenton Art Glass in Williamstown. The business celebrated it's 100th anniversary in 2005 and continues to draw crowds of fans. The weekday factory tools are cool and the free museum is interesting. I have to say that as someone from a younger generation I like... More

We stopped for the Fenton Art Glass shop and tour recently and were glad we did. Telephoning ahead we found out that you should check to see if they are working that day as sometimes the workers DO quit early for the day. Some days there are NO tours as well- like on weekends ! The tour is about 30... More
