The
Museum of American Cut and Engraved Glass, in Highlands, is
considered one of the finest collections of its kind in the world.
The museum exhibits cut and engraved glass primarily from the
American Brilliant Period, 1876-1916. The museum seeks to educate
people about glass from this period and increase awareness of and
appreciation for this American art form. Housed in a rustic log
cabin, the collection's brilliance is a direct contradiction to its
humble setting.
