SANDWICH, MASS. ~ ON OLD CAPE COD

by Pawtuxet - last update: Jul 23, 2007

Sandwich village

Such a peaceful, photogenic little town on Cape Cod. We wandered around taking pictures for quite a while. You could visit the Sandwich Glass Museum where they have a regular presentation on the making of and history of the glass from Sandwich. From here you can go into bustling Provincetown or Hyannis...and then back to the quiet of this little village to pour through antique shops and rest.....or fish!

Simplicity and perfection in architecture

Crossroads

This is the intersection of Route 6A...which is a federally protected highway travelling along the north side of the Cape. It's a gorgeous road with no billboards or ugly chain stores, etc. You wind through trees, beautiful vistas and adorable homes with lovely gardens....or tiny antique shops, interesting galleries...and on and on.
This intersection is where you turn into Sandwich...but there are several interesting shops here including this antique shop, which has a fantastic collection of early treasures. Worth a look.

 Don't know how I've missed this page before - but glad I found it now. This looks a really pleasant and relaxing place (and I also found myself thinking of the song "Old Cape Cod)!

 Sandwich is such a pretty town...the historic buildings and graceful restorations. Just lovely, Janet. I'd surely have to stop by the tearoom--can't resist them.
