This is an amazing place just off I-35 south of Wichita Kansas. The museum has a large display of glass made in the US between 1920-1950 often called "Depression Glass". The glass is arranged by manufacturer and is displayed in beautiful lighted cabinets. The curator and docents that operate the museum are very well versed on the history of the glass and are eager to share their passion about this beautiful art form.

We are not glass fanatics but this place is very good. They have a wide range of glassware by a wide range by makers for the period 1920-1970. They take great care of the pieces and if there was a speck of dust somewhere I couldn't find it. The range of styles, colors and shapes is staggering. They also have a good selection of excess glassware that was donated to the museum that is bargain basement priced. It's not a large place, just neatly packed from floor to ceiling. The person in charge of the museum was there for our visit was helpful but did not hover over us during our visit, she responded to all our questions.

Wellington is now home to three museums, the newest being the NDGA National Glass Museum, located at 117 S Washington Avenue. The NDGA is a national organization comprised of collectors of American-made glassware, and the organization has been accumulating a collection for some time with the intention of opening a museum. That objective was realized in September 2012.The museum is located in a storefront on the main street of Wellington, and the front window is decorated by various glass collecting clubs from around the country. Once you enter, you will see rows of cases containing glassware made in America from the 19th century nearly all the way to the present. Most items are identified as to manufacturer (and pattern, if known) and there are several groupings of like items (e.g. pitchers, stemware). There are some tools of the trade displayed, and there is a library for visitors to use (on premises).The all-volunteer staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and there is a gift shop where you can purchase glass, t-shirts, and other items. The volunteers will try to answer any questions you might have as you wander past the cases. Admission is free, but donations are welcomed.
