Raise a glass to 200 years of glassmaking history at the Sandwich Glass Museum’s special bicentennial event, Toast to the Past. This lively evening offers guests a unique opportunity to explore the museum after hours, guided by local glass historians stationed throughout the galleries. As you journey through two centuries of Sandwich’s iconic glass legacy, you'll uncover the fascinating stories behind its most cherished pieces and the enduring influence of the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company on the Town of Sandwich and Cape Cod at large.
Along the way, enjoy tastings of Cape Cod’s finest libations: wine, beer, and spirits - served in your choice of SGM glassware, including our limited edition Bicentennial "Thumper" glass, designed by artist David McDermott. Modeled after the traditional New England tavern glass of the early 1800s, this collectible piece is both a nod to our past and a toast to our future.
From Nina Sutton’s jewelry made with authentic Sandwich Glass shards to contemporary glassblowing studios thriving across the Cape, the legacy of Sandwich glass lives on... and you can take a piece of it home! Shop recreations of famous historical pieces and other glass treasures available for sale during the event.
Celebrate where we’ve been, what we’ve built, and what still lies ahead. Join us as we Toast to the Past - a festive, meaningful evening steeped in local craftsmanship, community, and history.
