Join us for a fun, informative night exploring the world of cartography with special guest Maps of Antiquity.
Each participant will receive a complimentary 21" x 17" black-and-white copy of a historic map from the Sandwich Town Archives. Hand-drawn by art teacher Jane "Jennie" Bradford Jones (1883-1971) in 1939 during a restoration of the 1834 Town Hall, the map illustrates Sandwich Village as it appeared between 1823 and 1888, the era the Boston and Sandwich Glass Factory operated in Jarvesville. Colored pencils will be provided.
Light refreshments will be served.
