TICKETING AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
GlassBarge will provide daily demonstrations from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
All demos are approximately 30 minutes long, and reservations are
strongly encouraged through free timed tickets that will be available
on this page. Registration will be live four to six weeks prior to each
stop.
The Lake Champlain Maritime Museum will invite people aboard
the Lois McClure to learn about what life was like on board a canal
barge in the 19th century. Tours are first come, first served and do not
require registration. The South Street Seaport Museum will also be
on hand to talk about their historic tug that will be moving GlassBarge
along the waterways.
The GlassBarge journey will also be celebrated back in Corning
with a re-installation of the Crystal City Gallery, which will share the
story of how Corning became one of the premier centers for glass
cutting in the United States.
GlassBarge is enabled through the generous support of grants
from I LOVE NEW YORK, Empire State Development’s Division
of Tourism; the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA); and
the New York State Canal Corporation through Governor Andrew
Cuomo’s Regional Economic Development Council Initiative.
