Dorflinger Glass Museum

Dorflinger is perhaps the only glass museum located within a wildlife sanctuary!

For those using GPS or Google Maps, the closest intersection is
Long Ridge Rd & Elizabeth Street, Honesdale, PA 18431
At the bottom of Elizabeth Street is a VERY steep hill, if you are driving from the East, Long Ridge is an easier ride.
The original Dorflinger factory building is at the bottom of the steep hill.

Dorflinger Glass Museum - America's Finest Glass 1852 - 1921

I think that is no idle boast -- President and Mrs Lincoln ordered Dorflinger cut glass for the White House...

I'd like to think I have a decent digital camera, but these photos do not do justice to this beautiful glass, you really have to see it in person to see just how brilliant the Dorflinger cut glass is...

Dorflinger has an amazing Gift Shop full of American-made glass, and the gift shop volunteers are very helpful!














As mentioned above, the Dorflinger Glass Museum is located with a beautiful 600-Acre Wildlife Sanctuary
