The Dorflinger Factory Museum is a regional industrial heritage museum celebrating the history and craftsmanship of the Dorflinger glass companies in Brooklyn, New York and White Mills, Pennsylvania. The Dorflinger companies produced fine lead crystal table ware for U.S. Presidents, governments, and wealthy individuals during the Gilded Age. Housed in the factory’s restored 1883 Cutting Shop and ca. 1888 Factory Office, the museum is home to a premier collection of Dorflinger glass. Exhibits explore the history of the company and its visionary leader, Christian Dorflinger, how this remarkable glass was made and decorated, and how it was used in society.
The Dorflinger Factory Museum is now open for the 2025 season. Please consult the News & Events page of this website for a complete listing of our 2025 events and activities, including the 2025 Walter B. Barbe Memorial Lecture Series, our special exhibits, and our annual Brilliant Weekend event.
