The group will begin their tour of Tiffin, Ohio with a stop at The Ritz Theater.Our guide will meet us there and we will tour backstage to see the dressing rooms, the stage and more.
Our next stop will be The Tiffin Glass Museum. The Tiffin Glass Museum honors the heritage established by the men and women of Tiffin’s “Glass House.” Through preservation and education, the Museum safeguards glassware made by the artisans from the factory’s nearly hundred-year history.
Next we will lunch at The Pioneer Mill of Tiffin which sits on the banks of the Sandusky River. Then onward to St. Paul’s Church where we will hear their historic organ played.
Our last stop will be the Crystal Traditions. Here, artisans are dedicated to keeping Tiffin’s glass heritage alive in Ohio. Crystal Traditions is the only glass factory where blowing glass, hand cutting crystal, sand carving, acid polishing and glass crystal repairs are done on the premises. We’ll have the opportunity of seeing glass being blown and a chance to visit their gift shop.
