We came for an hour or so to watch Corning Art Glass demo -- it was very amazing and we will go again when they have it. Also, love the gift shop here and the general displays are excellent !!

There are also a few non-paperweight exhibits interspersed, but I was definitely most drawn to the main attraction. In the basement of the house is... More

My male friend was reluctant to come here, but he wound up enjoying it as much as I did. They have an incredible collection of blown glass paperweights, all beautiful. They also have traveling exhibits. The one we saw made ordinary tools into objects of art. The house itself is worth a visit - a large old mansion on the... More
