Mystery Solved!
A collection of miniature historic houses, currently on display in the MacKnight Room at the Sandwich Public Library, includes one home that had not been identified.
But due to some good detective work and assistance from social media, it seems the mystery has now been solved. Read what has recently been learned about the house that once stood at 11 Water Street--and the entire miniature collection--in the January 9 edition of The Sandwich Enterprise. ​​
