Arts & Culture
Its a treasure in our backyard! You can walk to the museum, drive, or in the summer hitch a ride on the free jump on/off trolley that picks up in front of the Hoxie House. Stroll (or use handy golf cart service) among 100 acres of incredible gardens studded with various museums (summer of 2018 features the Indy 500 cars). I love bringing a picnic and letting the kids run wild in the Hidden Hollow (an award winning 2 acre outdoor discovery play area). Top off the day with a ride on the antique horse carousel!

The Hoxie House is just across the street from the carriage house. Upon entrance you are submerged in the daily life of a typical Sandwich resident living in the 17th century. The house is the oldest on the Cape and among the oldest in Massachusetts. The museum is only open in Summer and staffed by volunteers - their passion for the place alone is worth the $4 visit!

Cook Farm Trail - Across from the old Henry T. Wing School on 6A. Take a right out of carriage house. Take left on Water St. (also Route 130). Trail Sign is on opposite side of street at cross walk. Explore this 0.9-mile loop trail near Sandwich, Massachusetts. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 18 min to complete. This trail is great for birding, hiking, and walking, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring.

This is the studio owned by Michael Magyar, creator of the giant lighted sculptures which are on display during the holiday season mainly along Route 6A in Sandwich. If you are looking for a truly unique and beautiful gift (maybe as a wedding gift for someone who is getting married in the area) their handblown "ocean balls" in swirls of blue contain sand and shells from the area. They can even inscribe the glass at no extra charge with a gift note.
