First settled in 1637, and officially incorporated in 1639, Sandwich is the oldest town on Cape Cod. Sandwich is a mostly residential community with a year round population considerably smaller than during the warm summer. The town's charm and uniqueness, combined with its ideal location, makes Sandwich an attractive place to both visit and live.

Sandwich's beaches along Cape Cod Bay stretch for miles and provide wonderful ocean vistas and views of many vessels passing through on their way to and from the Boston area. Commercial fishermen and lobstermen can be seen unloading their catches at the docks of the Sandwich Marina, the only harbor along the Canal.

The Heritage Museums and Gardens (76 acres), formerly the Heritage Plantation of Sandwich, is a collection of museums and gardens located at 67 Grove Street, Sandwich, Massachusetts. It includes museums of art, American history, and automobiles, with both permanent and visiting exhibits, as well as extensive gardens and grounds featuring a superb collection of Dexter rhododendrons.
