Sandwich Archives

Who We Are and What We Do

The Sandwich Town Archives is a place where the past and present come together.  Researchers will find records of historical significance and value, from Sandwich census information to old parchives clockostcards with Sandwich scenes.  There is a bit of history for everyone to glimpse, no matter what the interest.
The primary purpose of the Archives is to collect, maintain, preserve, and make available historic materials to researchers and anyone interested in local history.
