A tryal of glasse

Article Abstract:

Jamestown glasshouse is commonly known as the first true manufacturing plant in America in spite of its failure in 1608 to establish the first factory in the New World as their entrepreneurial venture faced hardships like under-financing and poor resources to illness, starvation, mutiny and massacre. The Jamestown glasshouse is reconstructed near the preserved ruins of Glasshouse Point where costumed interpreters teach visitors about the site's glassmaking history and demonstrate its technique.
