Keene Glass Industries
The first of the two famous Keene glass
factories was established near this
site in 1814 and produced window
glass for the New England area
until 1853. Another glass works
(1815 to 1842), 1.5 miles southeast of
here on Marlboro Street, made
bottles and flasks now known as
Keene Glass and prized today by
museums and collectors.
