Welcome to the Town of Sandwich website
The Town of Sandwich, New Hampshire, with a population exceeding 1200 is located on the shores of Squam Lake, and nestled between two major tourist regions of the Granite State - The Lakes Region and the White Mountains. It is a classic new England setting with colored forests, winding roads and rolling hills.
Celebrations and festivities highlight the year in Sandwich. Old Home Week in the summer draws many visitors and former residents to bean suppers, picnics and musical performances. Every Columbus Day weekend at the peak of autumn color, all other activities stop while everyone heads for the Sandwich Fair - a real New Hampshire country fair complete with parade, oxen-pulls, and 4-H competitions.
In February, dogs and drivers
from all over the country head out from North Sandwich into the snow
covered wilderness in the 60 mile Sandwich Notch Sled Dog Race.
Sandwich is
also one of
those communities that when you visit, you feel like you never want to leave, no
matter what season it is. With
something to do everyday of the year here, from biking, swimming,
hiking and running trails, Sandwich is one friendly town that has
welcomed change but kept its secret charm and friendliness.
Sandwich is designated as an historic town, and surrounded by rolling hills and small valleys, potholes, hiking trails and some extraordinary views. With cross country skiing, snowmobiling, bike trails, pothole adventures and hikes across the 17 ranges there is always something to do.
