As the largest public garden in southern New England, Heritage Museums and Gardens in Sandwich, MA, on Cape Cod is a “must-visit” for garden and history enthusiasts. The gardens include 100 acres of trails, flowers, trees, and shrubs native to Cape Cod, accented with features like a flume fountain and historic windmill. There are also three exhibit galleries, a children’s adventure park, a vintage carousel, and a labyrinth.
I wasn’t able to see and do everything the museum has to offer, but that only means I have the perfect excuse to return. Here’s a look at my summer 2016 visit to Heritage Museums and Gardens in photos.
