Welcome to Discover Sandwich,

Find out what's going on, what used to go on, and what goes on and on, in and around this vibrant, historic New England village.

Sandwich Historical Society's 2020 Summer Exhibit
~ Our Women of Sandwich ~ is now live!  

 SHS's 2020 Summer Exhibit, Our Women of Sandwich, consists of twenty posters displayed prominently around town on various buildings. Each poster features a woman’s picture, name, dates, and a couple of things for which they were known.  Additionally, each poster features a QR (Quick Response) code that can be scanned from a smartphone (you can download a QR reader from the Google or Apple store online), which will take you to our website to read more about the featured woman! While this is a very different style of exhibit for us, we believe it will prove to be a fabulous celebration of some truly inspiring Sandwich women while also helping us all to stay safe and maintain social distance.  In fact, it may also help get in some steps while “visiting” the outsides of buildings around town! For more information and pictures, please see the blog post on this site and visit SHS's website.

Be well and safe and keep smiling.

By now, everyone should have a mask, or two, or three... to take everywhere with them. Most every car has one on the dash board or hanging on the rear view mirror. Masks are almost a new fashion statement with all of the different styles and fabrics. Kudos to everyone who is so diligently and respectfully wearing a mask and maintaining a safe distance. All this still seems very odd; yet it is very important. With the lovely sunny weather we have been having we might end up with funny tan lines. Be well and safe and keep smiling. Even if we can't see your mouth, you can see the sparkle in your eyes. Diane Johnson

June's Weather, by Rod Weinberg.
The hottest temperature for the month was 94 degrees on the 21st and the coldest 34 deg. on the 1st. Temperatures during the heat wave from June 18-21 was 91, 91, 93, and 94 degrees. The humidity was high but not oppressive.
Also, morning lows were in the mid 60’s which gave some brief relief. Rainfall totalled 1.89" which is 2.54" below normal. Only 0.44" had fallen through the 28th of the month which caused drought conditions.

2020 Sandwich Fair Canceled
The Sandwich Fair Association Board of Directors has announced that it will be canceling the Sandwich Fair for the 2020 Season. With the uncertainty of the direction of the coronavirus pandemic and how it will affect large group gatherings into the fall, the Board of Directors felt that canceling the fair was the safest option for the fair community and the public. For more on this, check out our blog, News & Views.

Update from the Selectmen:
Reminder:  We are still asking all who go to the Transfer Station to wear masks.  The Attendants have noticed many have stopped wearing masks this past week. They are still required for both your safety and for the safety of our Town staff. Thank you, The Selectmen's Office

Please wear a mask at the Transfer Station
Kevin and John, our Transfer Station Attendants, are seeing on average 300 of us each week. Think about that. That's like 300 people walking through your office. That's a lot in this time of Stay at Home orders and social distancing.  We are doing our best to keep them safe by limiting disposal to only household trash and making sure they have proper safety equipment. 

You can also do YOUR part:  per new CDC guidelines, please wear your mask when you go to the Transfer Station.  Thankfully there are do-it-yourself videos on making masks out of t-shirts, bandanas, you name it!  And if you don't have a mask, you can simply wrap your face with your scarf until you get one.  This will keep you safer and our Attendants safer.  A win-win! The Sandwich Board of Selectmen
