Introduction
About Sandwich, Massachusetts

Sandwich, Massachusetts is Cape Cod’s oldest town and was incorporated in 1639.  Picturesque, preserved and private – Sandwich has all the charm and character of an old New England village.  Here, weathered shingle cottages co-exist very nicely with antique colonials, cozy Ranches, modern glass-walled homes and residences with a view.  Sandwich offers quaint shops along the Olde King’s Highway, a bustling harbor, meandering tidal inlets, open space, forests and conservation land.  History abounds from sea captains’ homes to wonderful Shawme Pond with its grist mill and the Glass Museum, Thornton Burgess Museum, and the Greenbriar Nature Center and Heritage Plantation.  Sandwich, Massachusetts boasts strong community spirit, sound government and an easy commute to Boston.

In addition to walking tours hosted by the Town of Sandwich, Green Briar Nature Center and Heritage Museum & Gardens offer numerous programs for all ages throughout the year.

Homes located in the Sandwich region vary from customary Cape-style shingled homes to a stately sea captain’s residence, contemporary homes as well as free-standing condominiums.
