The Cahoon Museum, Sandwich



 Along with the marvelous native contemporary art exhibit, the Cahoon museum has a superb collection of art by the Cahoons, who bought the house the museum is located in.  The artwork is so charming, and wistful, and I strongly recommend a visit, as well as whatever special exhibit the museum is hosting.  Here are photos, many taken before in my previous visit with Mark Slawson, but worth seeing again. 

Enjoy.
