Why you should go…

Part botanical garden, part Americana treasure chest, this 100-acre Sandwich estate pairs nationally renowned rhododendrons and hydrangeas with galleries of folk art and a round Shaker barn full of gleaming antique automobiles. Kids ride a working 1908 carousel and scramble through the treetop Adventure Park while grown-ups wander the trails. In late spring the blooms alone are worth the trip.
