If you're planning a visit to Fenton Art Glass during October, here are two "glassy" added attractions you should know about!

The Campus Martius Museum in Marietta, Ohio, is hosting "Glass in Art and History: Commemorative and Novelty Items from the United Kingdom." This exhibit consists of more than 200 pressed glass items dating from 1837 to 1937. Many of these colorful objects commemorate events in the life of Queen Victoria, such as her marriage to Prince Albert, her Golden Jubilee (1887), and her Diamond Jubilee (1897). Many interesting novelty items, ranging from "posy holders" to presents for children, are also displayed. Campus Martius is open Wed-Sat (9:30 am to 5 pm) and Sundays and holidays (Noon to 5 pm). Admission is $7 ($6 seniors). Campus Martius is located at the corner of Second and Washington Streets in Marietta. For more information, www.ohiohistory.org/places/campus.



The Castle has about 150 pieces of glassware made by Marietta's Royal Glass Co. between 1898 and 1903. These items, which include rare pieces of Chocolate glass, are displayed throughout a Victorian home. Jacob Rosenthal was the Royal's manager in 1899-1900. The Castle is open on Monday, Thursday and Friday from 10 am to 4 pm and on Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 4 pm. Admission is $5 ($4.50 seniors). The Castle is located at 418 Fourth Street in Marietta. For more information, http://www.mariettacastle.org/exhibits/royalglass.php.
