Highlights & Collections

The Thornton W. Burgess Museum is located on beautiful Shawme Pond in the historic center of Cape Cod's oldest town. Here the life, works and spirit of Thornton W. Burgess, renowned children's author, naturalist, and Sandwich native are preserved in the 18th century house once owned by his Aunt Arabella. The museum collects, maintains and exhibits artifacts, art, writings and other personal and professional memorabilia which relate to his life and work. On the grounds is a lovely "tussie mussie" herb garden overlooking the pond where swans and ducks can be seen in their natural habitat. The Museum gift shop offers many unique items in addition to Burgess storybooks. Burgess animal storytimes are conducted on a regular basis during the summer months.
