Sandwich Town Hall, built in 1834 in the columned Greek Revival style, continues to serve as the seat of town government and is one of the oldest town halls in New England. In 2009, the building was beautifully and accurately restored and received the preservation award for rehabilitation and restoration from the Massachusetts Historical Commission. From spring-fed Shawme Pond and down the Herring Run, Mill Creek also powers the mill, winds through rich marshlands, and flows under the famous Sandwich Boardwalk to Old Harbor, where the Boston and Sandwich Glass Factory was built by Deming Jarves in 1825. This renowned glass can be seen at the Sandwich Glass Museum next to the park.
