The Historical Glass Museum Foundation was founded in 1976 by Dixie Huckabee and a group of interested glass collectors. In 1977 the Foundation purchased a 1903 Victorian-style home at 1157 North Orange Street in Redlands.
It was the beginning of a dream to preserve specimens of American glass from factories that were becoming extinct, as well as factories and glass artists currently producing glass.
It took nine years of hard work and fundraising to open the Historical Glass Museum to the public in 1985. The Museum now houses the largest collection of American-made glass west of the Rocky Mountains.

The live museum site points visitors to a 2018 Inland Explorer tour and an older 1995 Huell Howser segment. Both give prospective visitors a sense of the rooms, cases, and collection character.
