Want to know about life in the colonies in the early 1700's? This place is amazing and informative. Many Sandwich families hail from the Hoxie line, and this is the family homestead.

I happened upon this site during an open tour day and stopped for a visit. What a wonderful experience. The guide was a member of the local historical society and she was entertaining and informative. An hour long experience filled with stories and amusing glimpses into society and values of the time (not so different from ours!) I always remembered... More

Was not open when we visited, but you could walk around the house and see the grounds. This is an easy walk from the Sandwich Glass Museum.

I always take my children to a educational place on every vacation and this has to be one of my favorite places that I took them. Well worth a visit if you like history.

Excellent example of an early building. Entertaining and informative interpreters explain its history. Definitely worth a visit.

The head docent, Eileen was great. If you go make sure she is working that day. Very informative and funny. Great to see how they lived in those days. The house is great and things that are still in there are wonderful to see. The old sayings are great. Would recommend this to everyone even children.
