As a designated historic district, downtown Sandwich is home to a number of century homes. The town is also part of the Old King’s Highway Historic District, which includes the communities of Barnstable County, from its founding in the late 1630s until the mid-19th century. Home to a glass museum, the public library, the Dan’l Webster Inn, and several small shops and restaurants, Sandwich’s three-block Main Street area has undergone building projects over the years, but preserving the area’s historic significance remains a priority. “We do have a committee in place that helps with the preservation,” says Vitacco, noting, “A lot of those homes are privately owned, so we’re fortunate that the people who purchase the homes are intent on keeping them.”
