Owned and operated by the Heisey Collectors of America, Inc. (HCA) since 1974, the National Heisey Glass Museum displays more than 4,500 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 this 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.
