West Virginians take great pride in the arts created here in the Mountain State and the Blenko Glass Company, located in Milton, is one of the longest-running artisan factories in the state. It opened in 1921 (a centennial is less than two years away!) and for the first two years, it had only one glass maker: Willam H. Blenko, the founder of the company.
Today, the company has grown to several buildings and well beyond a single employee. The Travel Channel recently deemed a factory tour at Blenko as one of the Top 10 US Factory Tours.
