The Enterprise – Sandwich
Feb. 3, 2017

Being the oldest town on Cape Cod, first chartered by the state way back in 1639—136 years before the first shots were fired in the American Revolution—there’s no wonder that Sandwich has two municipal committees with the word “history” in their titles.

One is the Sandwich Historical Commission and the second is the Sandwich Old King’s Highway Historic District Committee.

The similarities in their names can cause some confusion, but, make no mistake, their responsibilities are quite different.
