Take A Weekend Trip
You aren't driving to Cambridge for just a glass show. There is a lot to see and do while you are here:
- The Glass Show features dealers from around the country who specialize in Cambridge and other elegant glass. A variety of glass from the practical to the rare is available for purchase.
- The Glass Dash is a smaller glass show that is just held on Saturday morning. You can walk in the door as the first piece of glass is unwrapped. The room buzzes with excitement as shoppers rush from table to table to see what vendors brought to sell.
- The National Museum of Cambridge Glass boasts an impressive collection of glass made during the company's 50+ year history. In addition to viewing the thousands of pieces on display, visitors can learn how the glass was made, see historical items from the factory, and browse the museum's gift shop.
