Welcome to
Heritage Museums & Gardens
Heritage Museums & Gardens located in Sandwich, Massachusetts on scenic Cape Cod is now open for the 2008 season from April 1 to October 31!
Museums are open daily from 10am to 5pm through October 31.
Heritage Museums & Gardens celebrates the American Spirit. The Museum fosters lifelong learning by preserving and sharing the history, industry, art and horticulture of America. We offer each of our visitors a unique experience ranging from quiet contemplation to active exploration.
The Museum is famous for its Dexter Rhododendrons that bloom late May into early June. The beautifully landscaped grounds are a naturalized woodland park on the edge of upper Shawme Pond. A Shaker round barn houses the J. K. Lilly III Antique Automobile Collection with its stunning display of antique automobiles. The American History Museum will be opening this summer with several New Exhibits. An operating hand-carved carousel and many of America's most distinguished artists' works are on exhibit in the Art Museum.
NOTE: Due to the loss of state funding, Heritage Museums & Gardens will not be able to offer Spectacle of Lights in 2008 but will make every effort to bring back this community celebration in future years.
In keeping with the holiday spirit, Heritage will host a holiday open house – Holidays at Heritage – on December 6 and 7 from 12noon until 6pm in conjunction with Sandwich Holly Days. Click here for more information.
