The Jamestown Glasshouse is located in Jamestown, Virginia and is part of the Historic Jamestowne experience. It was first built in 1608, just a few yards away from the current glasshouse. It was abandoned in 1624.

These glasshouses were excavated in 1948. The glasshouse that exists today was built during the 1970s. Instead of trees like in the olden days, the furnaces use natural gas for fuel.

• Costumed glassblowers still make glass their daily which looks very similar to what was made in the past.
• They explain the art and history of glassblowing to guests.
• The glass they make is available at the gift shop.
• Wine bottles, pitchers, candleholders and various other glass objects are made there.

• Try and go early in the morning so that the artisans have time to talk to you.
