The Sandwich Glass Museum and Historical Society interprets the history of the town
of Sandwich, as well as the role it played in ushering in the Industrial Revolution to
the once agricultural and fishing village of Sandwich. Sparked by the building of
the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company in 1825, the company grew to be one of
the largest glass manufacturers in the world. It left an indelible mark on the face of
Sandwich, which remains today as glass studios dot Cape Cod, including some in
Sandwich, and beyond.
Featuring over 10,000 pieces of Sandwich glass, daily glassblowing demonstrations,
a multi-media theater experience, interactive displays and changing exhibitions, no
family trip to Sandwich would be complete without a visit.
Located in the heart of Sandwich’s Glass Town Cultural District this fascinating
museum features a stunning Museum Store offering exquisite locally made contemporary blown glass, reproductions, jewelry and more. In addition to its fifteen
galleries, the Museum offers special programs and ample parking. Experience the
history and art that made Sandwich “the Town that glass built”.
