Corning, NY is famous for glass, producing stueben crystal and catlytic converters for cars. Corelle and measuring cups used to be produced here. The museum which details the making of glass over the years is huge; you can wander in there forever and watch them make steuben, little glass animals, and look through a telescope out over the city. There is much to see in the museum, and and old western museum is only a few blocks away.
