We're Open!
...for the 2026 season
June 27 through September 5
Thursday, Friday, Saturday
10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
A huge thank you to the many members, friends and visitors who helped to make our opening day of the 2026 summer season such a big success.
Hundreds of visitors saw our new exhibit celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Sandwich Home Industries, visited the Elijah Marston House, Barn and Gift Shop, enjoyed and interacted with our craft demonstrators in our side yard and visited the Quimby Transportation Museum to see our collection of vehicles to include our Sandwich Concord Coach.
Our grill master, Jon Taylor, grilled a delicious hot dog and reported over 100 were served!
A highlight of the day was the presentation of the Sandwich Cane to our dear friend Gil Rodgers.
A big day like this is a true group effort starting with our officers, trustees, staff and the many volunteers and committee members who helped make it possible. Our hats off to Lauren Hansen (exhibit chair) and her team for an incredible exhibition!! A special thank you to Linda Marshall and Adam Heard (greeters) and to Amy Brown and Sarah Abbott (gift shop), Amy Brown (beautiful flower arrangements), and our talented artisans ....we sincerely thank you all!!
