===Rolland Glass Company=== The Rolland Glass Plant was a glass manufacturing company founded in 1921 by Albert Rolland in Clarksburg, West Virginia. The company specialized in producing high-quality tableware and stemware, and its products were sold throughout the United States. The Rolland Glass Plant was a major employer in Clarksburg, and it played an important role in the city's economy. At its peak, the plant employed over 1,000 workers. However, the company began to struggle in the late 1960s due to increased foreign competition and rising production costs. In 1970, the Rolland Glass Plant was acquired by the Fourco Glass Company, which continued to operate the plant until 1979. The plant was then sold to the Hordus Glass Company, which operated it until 1985. The plant was closed permanently in 1985, and the buildings were demolished in 1987. Today, the site of the Rolland Glass Plant is occupied by the Rolland Glass Museum, which is dedicated to preserving the history of the company and the glass industry in Clarksburg. The museum houses a collection of Rolland Glass products, as well as photographs, documents, and other artifacts.<ref>{{Cite web |title=West Virginia History OnView {{!}} WVU Libraries |url=https://wvhistoryonview.org/ |access-date=December 8, 2023 |website=wvhistoryonview.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Clarksburg |url=https://www.earlyusglassfactories.com/listings |access-date=December 8, 2023 |website=glassfactories |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Hazel Atlas Glass History {{!}} Alumni {{!}} WVNCC {{!}} West Virginia Northern Community College {{!}} Accounting Degree {{!}} Business Administration Degree {{!}} Education Degree {{!}} Nursing Degree {{!}} Radiography Degree {{!}} Medical Assistant Degree {{!}} Criminal Justice Degree {{!}} Manufacturing Degree {{!}} Construction Degree {{!}} Logistics Degree {{!}} Welding Degree {{!}} Chemical Operator Degree {{!}} Petroleum Technology Degree {{!}} Cyber Security Degree {{!}} Computer Information Degree {{!}} Liberal Arts Degree {{!}} Art Degree {{!}} History Degree {{!}} English Degree {{!}} Tourism and Hospitality Degree {{!}} Culinary Degree {{!}} Wheeling WV {{!}} Weirton WV {{!}} New Martinsville WV |url=https://www.wvncc.edu/ |access-date=December 8, 2023 |website=www.wvncc.edu |language=en}}</ref>
