Titcomb’s is truly a local treasure. It’s a family run business that has been here since I was a child. Their knowledge & insight of not only books but appropriate toys for different ages is so helpful. I love to visit this store and always have a wonderful experience!
4. McDermott Glass Studio
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 28 reviews
In the back yard of a house at 272 Cotuit road in Sandwich, there is a metal building with molten glass in a furnace at 2000 degrees. 4 glassblowers, David and Yukimi and Isabel and Peter will be making beautiful glass inside the building. You can just walk in and watch them "dance with glass" from the behind of the working bench. They will explain what they are making and will answer any questions you have, too. You can feel the heat of glass as well as the love that they have in blowing glass. They usually blow glass Wednesday-Friday. there is a small gallery at the side of the house. The gallery is open everyday 10-5.

This unique spot boasts beautiful gardens and nature trails, as well as a jam-making kitchen.
Reviewed By 152irenew
We have been to Green Briar a couple of times now since we have been visiting in Sandwich. It is a cozy little center with beautiful wild flower gardens and a great early 20th kitchen which was utilized for making home-made jams to sell to the public. Nowadays you can sign up for a class and make various jams depending on which fruits are in season. My husband and I took the class and enjoyed it very much. Emmalee was the teacher and she is very organized and patient. By the end of class we each had five 4 ounce jars of jam to take home with us. Check out Green Briar the next time you are in the area and see what it has to offer you.

Unique boardwalk, over marshes, and at times during high tide, one can see seals! and the walk ends at the "dunes" with excellent view of the beach and sea. Takes about half-hour or 2 hours walking at the dunes! Excellent breezes!
