2025 Annual Meeting 

Weston, West Virginia

July 13-15

A Day (or Two, or Three) at the Museum of American Glass in West Virginia

The 2025 EAPGS Annual Meeting will be held July 13-15 (Sunday-Tuesday) at the  Bridgeport Conference Center in Bridgeport, West Virginia (evening dinners and meetings) and at the Museum of American Glass in Weston, West Virginia (daytime activities). The two locations are an easy 25 mile distance/ 30 minute drive down I-79.

The daytime activities at the museum will include volunteer work and glass sales – lots and lots of EAPG, both from the museum store’s existing stock and also from collection donations that will be offered at low museum prices. All proceeds from the sales of the donated glass will go to the museum and Tom Felt has assured me that prices will be kept “low”. They can always use the cash and they definitely need to free up space in their storage areas. At the museum, because of a limited amount of space, lunches will be on your own. We will have a list of restaurants in the area that serve lunch.

In addition to lots of glass sales at the Museum, we will also have member sales after dinner on Sunday night, the annual business meeting on Monday night, and a dedicated evening of “Show and Tell” on Tuesday evening. Meals are being planned and from what the conference center has offered us as options, we will have several delectable choices each evening. Each meal will have three entrees, two vegetables, and two starches, as well as salad and dessert.

Hotel accommodations will be at the Wingate Hotel, Bridgeport, West Virginia, which is connected to the Conference Center. They have offered us a very reasonable rate of $85.00 per night plus tax and that rate is good from Saturday, July 12 to Wednesday, July 16. Breakfast is included. A limited number of rooms have been set aside. To obtain the special room rate mention Early American Pattern Glass Society or EAPGS
