The Historical Society hosts the Stiegel Glassworks just 100 yards from where Henry William Stiegel erected his first glassworks in Manheim. Stiegel Glassworks fired its furnace in the bi-centennial celebration of American Independence and continues to use techniques of their grand-master blower to produce glass art of the finest quality. Throughout the years, the glassworks has partnered closely with the historical society to help preserve the Stiegel name and history, as well as replicate that history through their daily operations.
