From spring-fed Shawme Pond and down the Herring Run, Mill Creek also powers the mill, winds through rich marshlands and flows under the famous Sandwich Boardwalk to the Old Harbor where the Boston & Sandwich Glass Factory was built by Deming Jarves in 1825. See this renowned glass at the Sandwich Glass Museum next to the park.
