Arts District & Tourism

 GLASSTOWN ARTS DISTRICT

Built around the Maurice River, with historic buildings and our heritage as a glass center, the Glasstown Center Arts District is designed as an inviting place for visitors to stroll, relax, shop for art and fine crafts, and enjoy themselves. It preserves Millville's heritage as a center for the glass industry and home to many skilled craftsmen that produced today's collectibles.

MILLVILLE ARMY AIR FIELD MUSEUM

The Millville Army Air Field Museum, which is currently doubling its size is the site of "America's First Defense Airport" during World War II.  Museum programs and tours focus on education about Millville’s vital role in aviation history and the history of the P-47 Thunderbolt.  

The P-47 Thunderbolt; “The Jug”, was rated by many historians as the most effective fighter-bomber of World War II.
