Glass from the Past at the Gibson House explores how man-made glass has been used in communities and households for thousands of years. Prior to the mid-19th century, glass making was difficult, expensive, and a highly secretive process in which techniques were closely guarded. By the 19th century, glass was used in all parts of the home. Find out the different ways glass was colored, shaped, and used in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and learn more about the factors that impacted its production.
