Annual Curated Cultural Experience

Each year we escort members of the Glassmaker's Circle to a curated cultural experience in or around Cape Cod. In 2025, the experience featured a private guided tour of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) with CEO and Curator Chris McCarthy, followed by lunch in Provincetown.

Watch this space for news of what the experience will be in 2026.

Why Your Donation Matters

Like most small museums across the U.S., the Sandwich Glass Museum depends largely on the financial support of the community.

In this milestone year of bi-centennial celebration, we invite you to express your support to ensure we can grow by adding glass making classes and experiences while continuing to showcase our vibrant glass making past and provide exhibition space for contemporary glass artists.

The Sandwich Historical Society’s Glass Museum is independently owned and operated. All operational expenses including staffing, insurance, utilities and facilities maintenance, are borne by the Sandwich Historical Society.

Your generosity will help keep this incredible community resource alive!
