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 ~
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
Water Sample Results from the Public Spring
Hi All, We got our recent water sample results back and the water is still confirmed to have coliform bacteria. The most recent results showed 9.1 MPN of 100ml of water. The results from earlier this summer were 29.5 MPN of 100ml of water. So it seems some of the bacteria mitigation strategies we performed did reduce the bacteria presence. However, 9.1 is still above acceptable levels for consumption. The acceptable level is listed as less than 1 MPN of 100ml of water. We advise against the direct consumption of water from this Spring. We will perform more bacteria mitigation strategies at the end of this month or in early October. NH DES boil advisory factsheet is below. You can boil this water for 1 minute to kill coliform bacteria. Thank you for your patience and understanding,
Ole Anderson

Update from the Selectmen:
At their meeting last night (8.17), 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. 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
Brush Pile at Transfer Station
Per the Selectmen and Road Agent: we will no longer accept any more brush or wood on the Transfer Station brush pile until further notice. The conditions are too dry to burn the brush anytime soon due to the drought. We will notify you when we will once again accept brush, but our guess is it will not be until there is snow on the ground. Thank you for your cooperation, The Selectmen's Office

Those who visit Sandwich, NH, often find themselves planning to return. Some even return here to live. What makes Sandwich such a prized destination? An invigorating atmosphere, friendly people and quiet streets. Clear waters and scenic views in the White Mountains. Plenty to see and do embedded in the vibrant spirit of an historic New England town. I am grateful to be part of this exceptional community.
