Penn Cottage Museum of Pressed Glass Even the most avid collectors are in awe of Penn Cottage Museum of Pressed Glass, Australia’s largest collection of pressed glassware. Jamestown couple Kevin and Margaret Conway love glassware so much they have converted most of their home into a museum to showcase their 14,000 piece collection. Allow two hours to wander through the collection, which features pieces dating back to 1846. Group bookings are welcome. Ring the Conways in advance, as sometimes they are away collecting.
