The glass industry on Cape Cod started in Sandwich in the 1800s with Deming Jarves as a business that put roofs over the heads of hundreds. Today, Cape Cod is one of the leaders in artistic glass blowing in the United States. The Sandwich Glass Museum provides its history and includes glass blowing demonstrations. Stroll through the museum and view examples from the 1800’s to today. The gift shop is a great place to buy a superior glass decoration for your home or a gift for a loved one.
