Benjamin Nye Homestead
The Benjamin Nye Homestead is a historic house museum at 85 Old County Road in Sandwich, Massachusetts. The 2.5 story timber frame house was built in 1685 by Benjamin Nye, and has remained in the hands of his descendants for most of the time since then. It was apparently originally built as a saltbox style house with an integral leanto section, with the rear of the house being raise to a full two stories, probably in the 19th century. The house was sold out of the Nye family to the state of Massachusetts in 1924, but was poorly maintained by the state. With the house threatened with demolition in 1962, the Nye Family Association acquired the property and restored the house. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
