National Heisey Glass Museum

Owned and operated by the Heisey Collectors of America, Inc. (HCA) since 1974, the National Heisey Glass Museum holds more than 4,500 pieces of glassware and plant memorabilia from the A.H. Heisey & Co. The plant produced high quality, hand-wrought glass in Newark, Ohio, from 1896 to 1957. Glass originally produced by pressing was intended to simulate cut glass making elegant glass affordable to more families. Highly skilled craftsmen produced, cut, and etched glass in many styles and colors. The beauty and superior quality of the glass makes it a highly collectable item. The Museum stands as a historical reminder and an educational resource to the heritage of the A.H. Heisey & Co. The Museum is housed in the historic Samuel D. King residence, an 1831 Greek Revival home that was moved to the site in 1973, and an additional wing added in 1993. The Museum Gift Shop offers original Heisey pieces as well as re-issue pieces made from the original Heisey molds. Open year round, except Mondays, major holidays, and the day after Thanksgiving, Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.; Sunday 1-4 p.m.
