Jamestown Glasshouse, Glass production facility in Historic Jamestowne, Virginia, US

The Jamestown Glasshouse features traditional glassblowing demonstrations where artisans create bottles, vases, and candleholders using historical methods and tools.

In 1608, eight European craftsmen established the first glass manufacturing facility in North America, marking the beginning of industrial production in English colonies.

The glasshouse preserves colonial craftsmanship through daily demonstrations of traditional glassmaking techniques performed by artisans in period clothing.

Visitors can observe glass production processes and purchase handmade items at the facility's gift shop, which operates daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Archaeological excavations in 1948 revealed the original furnace foundations, which remain visible next to the current reconstructed glasshouse facility.
