Nye Museum

Mission Statement:

The Nye Museum is dedicated to protecting the Benjamin Nye Homestead, chronicling the property’s historical significance, and fostering community engagement through historical education and events.

Vision Statement:

The Nye Museum will be a dynamic landmark in the Town of Sandwich. A friendly staff of historians, administrators, and volunteers will work together to curate the museum, coordinate educational events for the public to enjoy, and study the family’s genealogy and contributions to local, colonial, and United States history. In order to fulfill these goals, the museum will also maintain the Nye Family of America Archives and operate the Nye Museum Press, which will publicize the property and its history.
