Open House – Historical Glass Museum March 28th from 12pm to 4pm
Many collectors do not realize that the Museum is located in the Jerome Seymour House, a historic building in its own right. Redlands native, Karen Choate Sorenson, is a long-time friend of the Seymour Family who built the Seymour House in 1906. Karen will be giving a narrated tour of the house at 2 p.m. on March 28th. Pictures of the house when the Seymours lived there will be featured. We have wondered for many years what each of the rooms were used for and what the Seymour family was like. To celebrate this presentation, the Historical Glass Museum will feature an open house on March 28th from noon – 4 p.m, with refreshments and free admission. This is the first activity of our celebration of 30 years in Redlands! Wonderful glass will be for sale in the Gift Shop. Please join us for the celebration. Here’s a bonus – a video featuring a tour of the Museum, courtesy of the Inland Explorer. Watch and enjoy !
