The Benjamin Nye Homestead & Museum on Old County Road in East Sandwich welcomes you, one and all, to our 2019 Open House from Noon to 4:00 on Saturday, June 15
This year we are celebrating the restoration of our 1858 water-powered grist Mill building that sits on a foundation first built in the late 1660s. Our on-site East Sandwich Grange Hall will have experts demonstrating old-world methods of working with fabrics as they spin wool, hook rugs, and weave. The Nye Family genealogist will be available to help trace your ancestry. The kids will be able to experience some hands-on history that includes spinning wool by hand and using an ancient Native American tool that employs a sapling tree as a spring to grind corn.
Costumed tour guides will be available to answer questions and help your family find their way around what was once the center of the East Sandwich community known as Cedarville. The 1685 Museum house will also be open to the public. More information can be found on our website.
Admission is free and open to the public
