2024 Annual Appeal
2024 has been an exciting and vibrant year so far! We’ve ushered nearly 30,000 people through our doors, and our talented glass blowers have demonstrated well over 2000 times. We also introduced our new online Collections Archive, allowing collectors worldwide to retrieve photos of our the historical objects in our permanent collection.
New community outreach this year included hosting a series of over fifteen cultural and educational events, described below.
It turns out that operating community services and events is resource intensive! That’s why we’re asking to you to donate generously today.
When you support the Sandwich Historical Society (SHS) and Glass Museum (SGM) with a gift today, you will be helping us continue to offer cultural and educational programs, services and exhibits to the community, and position us for successful growth in the coming year.
