Founded in 1887, the Fostoria Glass Company moved to its Moundsville location in 1892 and became one of the "most prolific and versatile" producers of glass in US, employing more than 1000 people. They produced stemware, lamps, blown and etched pressed wares, crystal dinner services and more. They supplied American presidents with glass products with the official government seal. The factory closed in 1986 and the site has been demolished. The Fostoria Glass Society of America, Inc. a nonprofit corporation was formed to acquire and share detailed information about Fostoria Glass, and to establish and maintain a museum for housing and displaying Fostoria glass. The museum is located in a small private 1903 home purchased by Fosteria Glass to be made into a museum. The Fostoria Glass Museum showcases a large collection of Fostoria Glass products.
