Half a mile east of here, 1794-1797, the first glass factory west of the Alleghenies was founded by Albert Gallatin, Secretary of the Treasury under Thomas Jefferson. He was aided by skillful glassworkers from the Amelung factory — Kramer, Gabler, Eberhart, Reppert, and Reitz. Factory closed in 1807.
