You don't need a lot of time to go through this museum but it is a wealth of beauty and memories of all types of glass. Free will donation to go through it and it was a nice nostalgic visit. The staff are willing to talk to you about the glass on display and many of them are volunteers who want to help preserve this museum. If you go, be generous in your donation to them, it is well worth the stop.

My reason for coming to Weston was for the Historic Insane Asylum tour, but it was closed on the one day I was in town. It turned out not to be a bad thing because I found this little hidden gem! I enjoyed some quiet time sipping wine over a fire built especially for me. I enjoyed a nice chat with the owner, who is truly an artist. This family run winery could easily complete with some of the best wineries I have visited in Europe. I plan on coming back and staying the weekend.

What started as a tribute to two beloved friends has evolved into a moving, honorable, respectful and even celebratory memorial to WV Soldiers from all branches of the military. The items on display are lovingly preserved. Each Soldier’s photo is identified with name, county and branch so that they may live on. Barb, our guide, was the perfect host. She was always available for questions and her stories truly added to the experience.

I visited Weston for an overnight trip to TALA, but made a visit to this glass museum. Glass isn’t something I’m normally very interested in, but nevertheless, I did enjoy my visit. Entry is free and there are bathrooms on site for guests. The staff was friendly, I’m guessing the 2 little girls were owners kids? Hard workers and so polite! The setup of glass was nice. I enjoyed seeing the different colors and styles over the years. Pretty incredible to see glass still in tact from over a century ago! The giant glass doll house and the marbles were my favourite part!
