Cape Cod is best known as a beach lover’s vacation destination with its National Seashsore protecting forty miles of coastline for recreation. But the Cape is also one of the first places settled by Europeans and historic sites are part of the area’s charm.

The Historic Town of Sandwich

Sandwich, the oldest town on Cape Cod, was a grant given to “Ten Men From Saugus” for land enough for sixty families. The town was incorporated in 1639. Today Sandwich is home to several museums and some of the oldest buildings in the country.

The oldest surviving saltbox house in the town, Hoxie House has been restored to its original colonial style and is open to the public from mid-June to the end of September. It is also one of very few old buildings on the Cape that is in its original location. It was a common practice to move buildings from one place to another so many historic buildings on the Cape are not found in their original location
