We are GEARING UP (pun intended!) for our historical re-enactment of the 1825 groundbreaking of the first glass factory in Sandwich, scheduled for Saturday April 26th, 3-7pm. Not only has Jim Ellis kindly offered his very fun trolley for transport, we've got our amateur cast lined up, including our own John Kennan as Deming Jarves, the original entrepreneur who 200 years ago picked Sandwich as the site of his new industrial age venture.

We hope you will join us as we have a ton of fun attempting to recreate the factory groundbreaking scene 200 years ago. Top hats! Empire waists! Bonnets and scarves galore! We plan to have some costumes to loan out, but would be thrilled if you wear your own, or even just pop on a flat cap and wrap a scarf around your neck.
