The Walter R. Ludwig Gallery

Named for former curator and legendary volunteer Walter Ludwig, the gallery showcases rotating exhibits curated by Walter and a team of volunteers. Now on display: pressed glass vases made in Heisey’s early years, up to 1920.

Heisey in Hollywood

Dining Table Setting

Do you love to set a beautiful table? The table setting on the dining table in the elegant 19th century King House shows how it’s done with Heisey glassware.

Reproductions and Look-Alikes

(OPENING SOON) After Heisey closed in 1957, the Imperial Glass Company and, later, HCA reissued some of the cherished animal figurines and other items made in the Heisey moulds. An updated exhibit of these reissues, along with look-alikes and misleading pieces, will officially open at the HCA convention in June 2026.

Louise Ream Library

With its Craftsman style decor, the Louise Ream Library is an inviting place to learn more about Heisey or take a moment to relax during your visit. The library is open during regular museum hours and has a large collection of reference books on Heisey and many other types of glass.
