This took a while as I went through four Kansas counties looking for the right one. I went with the National Glass Museum – http://www.wellingtonkschamber.com/attractions-things-do-fall-wf (about halfway down the page) in Wellington, Sumner County as this week’s Kansas Tuesdays post. Mom was an expert on Depression era glass as she ran a White Elephant shop for years. She could spot a fake easily. The museum covers more than Depression era glass. Many of the links below include the old address which is a block south of the new address.

Mom was big into Depression glass. She could spot a fake pretty easy; me, I would need a website to figure out real or fake. I would like to visit it in her memory one day. It’s a day trip outing.
