Sandwich Historical Museum and Gardens

One of the first things Emily did upon arriving in Osterville, was to get a library card. When she did that, they gave her some tickets to a museum and gardens in nearby Sandwich. So, we took advantage of them and paid a visit. Although the gardens were past their peak,and we missed the daylilies, hostas, and roses, there was still plenty to see.

The "infamous" bee in the flower pictures. I think this is a zinnia



This windmill was apparently a working windmill at one time. Now it is just for looks.

Dee, this one is for you! An antique fire truck in the auto museum.


This was the only antique car we were allowed to touch.



In addition to the ocean, MA has many freshwater lakes, which surprised me for some reason.

Can you imagine how many houses burnt to the ground while they waited on the "tin lizzie" fire truck to arrive?

Hey --- you guys look pretty good in that car. I think you need to get one.
