Show Notes
The tract of land now known as Heritage Museums & Gardens played an important role in the history of the town of Sandwich. In 1677, Lydia Wing Hamilton Abbott was the first resident to live on the land. Since that time there have been a lot of positive changes. In today’s podcast, we zero in on 1969 and the creation of Heritage Museums & Gardens with Heather Mead, Heritage’s Director of Visitor Engagement and Jennifer Madden, Director of Collections & Exhibitions.
