Art for a great cause

All of the outdoor exhibits my dear wife Karen and I came upon during our walk of the gorgeous grounds at the Heritage Museums and Art in Sandwich, Mass., were fashioned from recycled materials.

Way back when on the Cape

Little by little, more folks brought hustle and bustle to these Massachusetts shores by the sea. The folks at the Heritage Museums and Gardens allowed curators to gather a path of knowledge for walkers to look and learn in the middle of the grounds in Sandwich, Mass.
