The Sandwich Fair is Here!
Last year we moved to the Fair Museum (Building 9A - beside the poultry bldg - just inside Gate B - see map below), and we have the honor of maintaining the Fair Museum and adding our Society's Gift Shop, so please stop by and see us! ~ We have something for everyone as well as fascinating pictures, posters and all manner of Fair ephemera to look at!
While you're looking around, can you guess what the building was used for?

Although we are now closed for the 2024 summer season, you can read all about our summer exhibit:
In the 19th century, the advent of photography had an extraordinary impact on peoples’ ability to create images of friends, family and environments. It was a universally utilized medium for recording history. ~ From daguerreotypes to digital, this summer, the Sandwich Historical Society will be examining the history of photography using examples from our extensive photography collection.
