Nye Museum consisted of three buildings: a homestead originally constructed in 1678, a grange hall that now acts as the visitor center, and a grist mill built in 1858. Nye Museum was an educational, fun, and relaxing experience. It had everything I desire in a small house museum and more. Like most historic houses, the buildings were not accessible to those using a wheelchair, and stairs may be steep for those with limited mobility. Lighting was dim in some parts of the house and the grange, especially since I visited on a day that turned rainy. The museum website is well-designed and fairly easy, providing substantial information about the property but no virtual tour at this time. The museum recently closed for the season but will open again in mid June. Tickets are $10 for adults and $0 for children members, active duty military, and NEMA members. If you want a comprehensive overview of life on Cape Cod before the present day, I highly encourage you to visit Nye Museum.

Beautiful. But I am extremely prejudiced, as the home belonged to my relatives, felt like home. Reminded me of Tom Bombadill's little piece of land. Not all of it mind you, but the pond, and stream and swans and freshness of it all, despite the settled long ago, feels delightfully nice. Too bad they don't have yours at Christmas. It would be picturesque.

Excellent tour of house by knowledgeable and interesting guide. A window to the past.

For months I have been trying to get Nye Museum to return $105.95 of over-payment. They have delayed and lied through the whole process.

To all Nye's: Some of these people are Nye's, most are not. I would never buy from them again. Here's the story, make up your own mind.

TL;DR I ordered something from Nye Museum, USPS had trouble delivering. I disputed the charge on my card. Package finally arrived. I restored the charge on my card. (I paid $105.95). Nye museum claimed a -$105.95 balance on their PayPal account. I sent them a check for $105.95. Now my credit card was charged $105.95 and Nye Museum deposited my check (so I paid another $105.95). I paid twice.

I have been asking for my money back. I have tried, politely, since May. It's September. Months of lies and delay tactics. My money is lost. Don't let this happen to you.

I'd rather eat my own face than buy from or spend any amount of time with the Nye Museum.

To all Nye's: I would boycott these shady characters. I have full documentation, email threads, bank records, etc. Send me a text if you want the .zip so you can decide for yourself.

Btw on top of it all, the coffee mugs are junk. One wash, logos are a puddle, see the attached picture.

There are so many better places to spend your time in Sandwich than the Nye Museum. I suggest the Heritage Museums, Hoxie House, Scusset or Sandy Neck Beaches, Dexter's Grist Mill, even the Town Hall is a better use...

They were closed at the time due to the holiday. Did bump into a couple who work with the museum. I knew my family were connected with the Nye family way back. Turned out the gal was about my 10th cousin. Her and her husband took the time and gave us a tour outside (the museum was closed) describing what it look like back in the day. Wish we were staying one more day. I would've gone back. But I can never thank them enough for taking the time for us on their day off. If I ever go back to the area.. I...
