For a taste of Italy, visit Lo Adoro Italian Market, or indulge in a fine dining experience at the Belfry Inn & Bistro. Immerse yourself in history and nature at Mill Creek Herring Run, to see herring migrating up the creek in spring, or the Dexter Grist Mill, which dates back to 1654.

One of the town's main attractions is the Heritage Museum and Gardens, which features beautifully landscaped gardens and a collection of vintage cars. The Sandwich Glass Museum is also worth a visit, showcasing the town's history as a major center of glass production.
