Sandwich, on the Massachusetts side of Cape Cod, was the oldest town on the Cape, settled in the 1630s and incorporated in 1639. In the later nineteenth century its economy mixed small farms, salt works, cranberry bogs, and the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company, whose works made pressed glass sold across the country until the factory closed in 1888. Summer visitors and local residents alike would have known the village for its glass and its shaded streets near Shawme Pond, and they could reach it by rail from Boston and Plymouth after the Cape Cod railroad arrived in the 1850s. Fishing, coastal shipping, and seasonal trade shaped daily life across the town, which sat at the edge of a region slowly reorienting itself toward tourism.
