Benjamin Nye Homestead
Benjamin Nye Homestead, Colonial-era homestead in Sandwich, Massachusetts.
The Benjamin Nye Homestead features a 2.5-story timber-frame construction with an integral leanto section and architectural elements from Colonial and Federal periods.
Built in 1678 by Benjamin Nye, this house remained in the family's possession for over two centuries until 1910, when it was sold to Massachusetts.
The museum displays period antiques, including spinning wheels, early cooking implements, handwoven sheets, and traditional rope trundle beds from colonial times.
Located at 85 Old County Road, the museum operates from June through October, Tuesday to Saturday, 11 AM to 4 PM, with adult admission at $10.
A dendrochronology study in 2012 confirmed the original construction date of this house, which contains one of the earliest grist mills in America.
