    We lived in Steuben County for ten years, and the director of the museum lived next door to my sister-in-law. He died not long ago, I think of cancer.
    Such a great museum.

    The Steuben museum is part of the Corning museum of glassware? Seems to be from my limited of googling I did.


    I had assumed this Corning museum and library was mostly about industrial glass, not ornamental. Wrong!Our library donation was a serial publication for the glass industry.

    The Corning Museum of Glass is in Steuben County, NY and encompasses Steuben Glass--
    About | Steuben

    Within the museum you have a glassblowing exhibit, the Steuben factory (if I recall correctly), historic art glasses, and industrial glass exhibits of things like Pyrex and windshield glass. It's a wonderful museum. Gift shop has tons of Corelle. Kind of runs the gamut. The glassblowing exhibit is super popular, as it is a window into the Steuben factory.

    Corning is the name of the town and Steuben is the name of the county, and I was actually referring to the name of the county, which is how Steuben Glass got its name.

    We stumbled on the Corning museum about 10 years ago and recommend it to anyone we know going north from MD on route 15.
