Welcome to Discover Sandwich,

celebrating the town of Sandwich, New Hampshire.
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.

Diane Johnson writes: Maybe it was the early fall-like weather we had the beginning of last week, or it could be the absence of holiday fairs and Thanksgiving plans, It just doesn't seem like we are approaching the end of November and the beginning of the holiday season. I have holiday things to do and I am organizing some of my usual activities. I just am not going anywhere except my now routine errand drive around Red Hill. An adventure for me these days is a quick and purposeful trip to the Laconia area for things that I cannot get in my circle around Red Hill as I travel to and from Moultonboro and Center Harbor.

I really miss seeing my family and spending time with them; but I know we are all better off these days just visiting by phone and/or electronically. I am thankful that Sandwich is a wonderful, friendly, and rural community with opportunities to see each other in safe socially distant ways.

This year the holidays are shaping up to be creative transitions. Christmas in the Village and The Community Christmas Tree Party will be socially distant and different. Another change this week/month is the national elections will be decided and all the political ads, mailings and phone calls will end.

Be well and safe and keep smiling underneath your mask.

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. 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

Masks are Mandatory at the Transfer Station
The Board of Selectmen voted to require the wearing of masks by all who use our Transfer Station. You have most likely seen the large sign at the entrance gate requesting masks are worn.  Masks are now mandatory both for your safety and our Attendants. Thank you for your cooperation.
