Timeline
10:00
Walk through the grounds of the Hoxie House. Built in 1637, this is likely the oldest restored house on Cape Cod. It is a quiet way to start the day before the crowds arrive.
10:14
Head to the Sandwich Farmers Market for a snack or lunch. Browse the stalls for local produce, baked goods, and cheeses. The market is open on Tuesdays from 9AM to 1PM, so this fits perfectly if you are visiting on that day.
10:40
Stroll to the Heritage Museums & Gardens. Spend time wandering the 100-acre grounds to see the extensive collections of rhododendrons, hydrangeas, and day lilies. It is a peaceful place to enjoy the afternoon light.
