==Fenton Glass== {{Main|Fenton Art Glass Company}} Founded in 1905 by brothers Frank L. and John W. Fenton, the [[Fenton Art Glass Company]] is the largest manufacturer of hand made glass in the United States. The firm is now led by third- and fourth-generation Fenton family members. After officials of Fenton Art Glass announced the fifth generation family company would shut down the 100-year-old factory at the end of 2007, thousands of loyal Fenton customers reacted with an outpouring of orders, selling out the QVC show that was to be its last in just minutes instead of the scheduled 2-hour show. Fenton is now open and working to stay open; tours are run daily through the gift shop and orders are placed online, on QVC and via its decades-old catalog. Fenton Art Glass Company has officially stopped making glass. As of May 24, 2012 completion the sale of selected assets as scheduled. This included the sale of the name and logo, the formulas for the glass, molds and other materials that were used by the company. However, today the company now makes handcrafted glass jewelry; including beads and Teardrop earrings. The jewelry is made in many of the classic Fenton colors and styles popular with collectors. On June 2, 2017, the Wood County Board of Education purchased the factory and surrounding properties to build a new elementary school.
