Visiting Sandwich, MA
Cape Cod's Oldest Town

Heritage Museums & Gardens (67 Grove Street) is made up of 100+ acres of fabulous gardens, three museums, and a special "Hidden Hollow" for the kids.

It's easy to lose track of time here, wandering through the gardens,  admiring vintage cars in the auto museum, and riding the indoor carousel. 

As you step in the doorway to Hoxie House (18 Water Street), you'll wonder how this 1600s saltbox home could possibly have housed the Reverend and Mrs. John Smith and their 13 children.

A 30-minute guided tour gives adults and kids a thoroughly fascinating peek into family life in Colonial Sandwich MA.


 

The town's artesian well is your opportunity to sample some of the freshest water Mother Nature can provide.

You'll find the well in the center of Sandwich Village, just adjacent to the Dexter Gristmill. Bring an empty water bottle or two and fill 'em up. The water's free for the taking, and it's crystal clear, super-cold, and the best you'll ever taste!

The Sandwich Trout Hatchery (on Rte. 6A heading east out of town) is home to all sizes and species of trout being raised for release into our local waters.

Be sure to take some loose change  when you go. For a quarter, you can buy a handful of fish food and keep your kids giggling and happy for 15 minutes or so feeding the fish!

Sandwich Boardwalk (Boardwalk Road off Jarves Street) is the perfect place to take an early morning stroll.

Crossing acres of creek and marshlands inhabited by all manner of wildlife, the end of the Boardwalk is where the "Ooh. Aah!" moment happens, as you get your first glance of the sprawling beach and Cape Cod Bay.
