The New England Glassworks in Temple, New Hampshire (1983)

unapi

The New England Glassworks was New Hampshire's first glass factory, but, like many other American factories of the 18th century, it failed to achieve prominence before a series of logistical and financial setbacks led to its abandonment. However, during its short history (1780-1782) this was the only factory manufacturing glass in New England, and it appears to have produced the first crown window glass made in America. Because historical records for this factory were extremely incomplete, a lengthy excavation was conducted at the site that exposed the remains of the glasshouse, three workers' cabins, and a variety of specialpurpose features and structures.
