Glassboro is located at just a half an hour’s drive from Philadelphia. Despite being a relatively small town, Glassboro has a rich culture and identity. The town’s name was influenced by the presence of glass manufacturing factories in the region as far back as the 18th century, and this heritage can still be explored in the Heritage Glass Museum. Moreover, the town is home to several breweries and wineries, whilst also offering plenty of parks for residents to immerse themselves within.
