Explore historic glass bottles and artifacts with the Heritage Glass Museum. In this video, museum trustee, David Smith, discusses a Whitney Glassworks Calabash bottle and how it used the image of Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind to promote the product.

Located in Glassboro, NJ, the Heritage Glass Museum was founded by the community in 1979. The Museum works to collect, preserve, and curate historic southern New Jersey glass (historic and fine art), artifacts, photographs, and documents to inspire diverse audiences to explore the rich cultural history of New Jersey’s glass making heritage.
In partnership with the Rowan University Libraries Digital Scholarship Center, the Department of Geography, Planning, & Sustainability, and the Glassboro Historical Society, the Heritage Glass Museum is working to utilize its unique collection and library to develop innovative educational programs, exhibitions, publications, and initiatives that encourage learning, exploration, and a deeper, more personal connection with the community.
