History of National Mason Jar Day

National Mason Jar Day is celebrated on November 30th each year. It was created by Misty Campbell-Olbert, the founder of Unboxing the Bizarre, as a way to celebrate the versatility and ingenuity of the mason jar.

The mason jar was invented in 1858 by John Landis Mason, a tinsmith from New Jersey. Mason's patented design for the "Improvement in Screwneck Bottles" was a revolutionary improvement on the glass jars that were used at the time to store food. Mason's jars were easier to seal and less likely to break, making them ideal for canning and preserving food.

Mason jars quickly became popular with homemakers, and they played a vital role in feeding families during the Civil War and World War II. Today, mason jars are still widely used for canning and preserving food, but they are also used for a variety of other purposes, including:

  • Drinking glasses

  • Vases

  • Candle holders

  • Storage containers

  • Craft projects
