John J. Glessner House

The mission of the museum is to spark excitement in architecture, history, and design through a dynamic exploration of Glessner House, its family, and its preservation.

A vast majority of the objects in the house today belonged to the Glessner family. Visiters can discover more about the collections at Glessner House through the stories of the artists and designers who created the objects which the Glessners owned and cherished. Descendants of John and Frances Glessner have generously donated these items to the house, where they continue to be cared for in their original setting, providing an authentic experience for our visitors.
