STQRY Guide
Explore the rich history of Sandwich, Massachusetts at your own pace through a series of engaging, self-guided walking tours available on the mobile app STQRY Guide (pronounced “story” — formerly PocketSights).
These mobile-friendly experiences invite visitors to discover historic homes, landmarks, and landscapes that tell the story of Cape Cod’s oldest town, founded in 1637. Along the way, images and historical context bring centuries of local history to life, offering an accessible and immersive way to connect with Sandwich’s heritage wherever and whenever you explore!
Explore Our Growing Collection of Historic Tours
We are currently developing a suite of five Sandwich tours for STQRY Guide. Two are live and ready for your enjoyment today, with three more arriving soon —
Available Now: Jarvesville & Town Hall Square (both National Register Historic Districts)
Under Development: Dexter Grist Mill, Historic Sandwich Village, and Hoxie House
The tours highlight curated collections of architecturally and historically significant sites, guiding visitors through the town’s distinctive historic neighborhoods. As you move from stop to stop, find property histories which offer a deeper understanding of how Sandwich developed over time. Designed to be both educational and engaging, each tour transforms a simple walk into a layered exploration of place, preservation, and community history.
