A Look Back
 
Sandwich Historical Society Director Jim Mykland has pulled together some interesting entries from the Sandwich Reporter (1893 – 1944). Here are some excerpts; To read more, visit sandwichhistorical.org/miscellany-and-mystery.
~June 5, 1890:  Arthur Tilton has four young partridges. Four eggs were taken from a nest and put under a hen and all hatched and are doing well. They are quite a curiosity.
~Quite a thunder shower this morning.
~But comparatively little planting has been done in this vicinity owing to the wet weather.
~We understand that dogs have already commenced to get to their work of killing sheep in this town.
~The mosquito is on the warpath and is very prompt in presenting his bill on which he claims full pay without discount.
~(From a longer article on Memorial Day activities in Sandwich) “Many were present from out of town, conspicuous among others being our old friend Hon. Larkin D. Mason who was seated on the stand beside Hon. M.H. Marston and his brother Elisha, all three over eighty years old.   …If our friend Roberts, or any other man, thinks this hamlet always has the appearance of “Goldsmith’s Deserted Village” let them drop in on us on Memorial Day, or when there is some other kind of a public celebration and they be likely to change their mind. There is no solid reason on earth why our streets need not to be crowded every Sunday in the year as well as those special occasions.
Although the ranks of the veterans are fast thinning out, more interest in Memorial Day is manifested from year to year throughout the land, and the great majority seem to more and more impressed.

Sandwich Master Plan
 
What’s Next for Sandwich? Help Shape the Future
The Town of Sandwich is updating its Master Plan — a community-driven document that will guide town decisions over the next ten+ years on housing, land use, economic development, natural resources, and more.
Why it matters:
The Master Plan is based on your input — through interviews, public meetings, and a town-wide survey coming later this year. It reflects our shared values and helps ensure that zoning ordinances, town policies and investments align with what matters most to residents.
What’s happening now:
The Planning Board has formed a Master Plan Subcommittee to lead this effort. We're gathering feedback, studying town data, and preparing for broader public engagement.
How you can stay involved:
• Visit our Town webpage often for updates and info:   Master Plan
• Contact us with any questions or feedback:  [email protected]
We’ll be reaching out for your input in the coming months, and we need to hear from everyone. Let’s plan for a future that reflects what we love about Sandwich — and what we want to see improved. Master Plan Subcommittee
