Join us in the museum’s newly appointed lower-level conference room as we enjoy lunch and an educational program, presented by Kathy Grant. This month’s topic is Duncan & Miller’s involvement in the 1876 World’s Fair in Philadelphia. Lunch will feature food items documented to have been served at the fair.

If you have attended prior Lunch & Learns, you know they are truly an educational experience! And a great way to meet new ‘glass friends’.

DID YOU KNOW?

The manufacture of glass in Washington, Pennsylvania, was stimulated by the discovery of abundant oil and natural gas in the 1880s. The Duncan & Miller factory was the second of the six factories producing glass of all types, from window glass to fine tableware, located in Washington by 1900.
