The Museum of Connecticut Glass, established on February 12, 1994, is situated in the historic Captain John Turner House, built in 1813, in Coventry, Connecticut. The museum's location is significant as it is one of the last remaining sites on the National Historic Glass Factory District. The museum focuses on the glassmaking industry in Coventry, which was active from approximately 1814–1848.
The Museum of Connecticut Glass is currently engaged in the restoration of the Turner House. In addition, the museum is pioneering a unique solar-based glassmaking operation, known as “Sun-Fired Glass”. This innovative project is the first of its kind in the world, offering a unique insight into the future of glassmaking.
