Welcome!
Heritage Museums & Gardens located in Sandwich, Massachusetts on scenic Cape Cod is now open for 2009 - our 40th year!
Museums are open daily from 10am to 5pm through October 31.
Heritage Museums & Gardens celebrates the American Spirit. The Museum fosters lifelong learning by preserving and sharing the history, industry, art and horticulture of America. We offer each of our visitors a unique experience ranging from quiet contemplation to active exploration.
The Museum is famous for its Dexter Rhododendrons that bloom late May into early June. The beautifully landscaped grounds are a naturalized woodland park on the edge of upper Shawme Pond. A Shaker round barn houses the J. K. Lilly III Antique Automobile Collection with its stunning display of antique automobiles. The American History Museum will be opening this summer with several New Exhibits. An operating hand-carved carousel and many of America's most distinguished artists' works are on exhibit in the Art Museum.
