Sandwich Glass Museum, Glass museum in Sandwich, Massachusetts.
The Sandwich Glass Museum is a glass museum in Massachusetts that displays over 5,000 objects, including decorative pieces, household items, and artworks. The collection shows both handcrafted and factory production methods from different time periods.
The Boston & Sandwich Glass Company began in 1825 and made the town a major glass production center until it closed in 1888. This business shaped the community for generations and left lasting marks on the area's identity.
