Reviews
"Closed for the season but that was not listed anywhere that I had checked. Very upsetting"
"There’s so much history in Imperial than I thought. The 2 workers at the museum were very welcoming. The man gave us a big history lesson not only on the glass, but the town itself. There’s so much to view and it’s all gorgeous. The woman at the front desk was very lovely as well and gave us free items as we left. Would highly recommend going here."
"People who like history or art might like this place. The staff are very knowledgeable, personable, and courteous. I received an interesting tour of their museum. I visited the gift shop at the end. I learned some things and I had a good time here. My visit to here made my day better."
"Worth the trip to visit! - If you live local, this is an awesome place to volunteer! - See the tools and moulds they used to manufacture glass at the Imperial Glass factory. Great history lesson for all ages! - Beautiful displays of the many lines of glass, knowledgeable tour guides. - Buy rare and unusual pieces of glass in the gift shop at great prices. - Become a member, learn history, attend the yearly June convention. Periodic auctions. - Attend the local IG group meetings to learn about the history & glass."
"If you have any interest in collecting glass, put this unassuming place on your list of must-sees. Many fine examples of Imperial and related glass objects, along with some knock-offs for comparison. A well-stocked gift shop with a wide variety of items to add to your collection. Very knowledgeable volunteers to answer all your questions. I was just dropping off donations, ended up spending a very pleasant hour being shown around."
