Multi-Media Theater

What was life like in rural New England at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution? We bring Sandwich and its inhabitants to life with video, surprising stage sets and ghostly characters that are so life-like you would think they are sitting in the theater with you.

Learn of the joys and sorrows during the 18th century and feel the ominous threats of war with England explode in a volley of cannon fire across the theater. Watch how the founder of the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company came to build his factory and produce the finest pressed glass the world had ever seen.

This 23 minute, critically acclaimed experience, brings history to life like you have never experienced before. The presentation runs every half-hour throughout the day.
