Review:
The Jamestown Glasshouse is one of the main attractions from America's first colony. In the early days of Jamestown, officials believed that glassmaking could be a profitable venture. Ultimately, it didn't end up being the right commodity for Jamestown's economic survival, but the glasshouse where most of the glassmaking process took place still stands.
Today, visitors can watch as glassmakers create objects using the same techniques from more than 400 years ago. Guests can also view the original furnaces that early colonists used for their glasswork. Lastly, the glasshouse has its own gift shop that sells original pieces of glass artwork.
