Heritage Museums & Gardens Annual Car Show

June 9, 2018 — It was my second time at the Heritage Museums and Gardens in Sandwich, Massachusetts, but the first at their annual car show held outdoors. There were many exceptional cars, but too many for the size of the field, and they were packed in like sardines. A high turnout of spectators added to the difficulty in photographing individual cars. I commend them for moving their rarest cars off to the side where they had some space, among them a 1931 Duesenberg once owned by actor Gary Cooper. Inside the J. K. Lilly Automobile Museum was an exhibit of race cars going back to 1911.

Whenever at the Heritage, a walk around the grounds rewards one with photogenic flowers, trees, the towering flume fountain, a windmill and an adventure park featuring a zip line. Speaking of the windmill, it had lost its blades since the last time I saw it. They had to be removed for safety reasons because of their rotted condition. A GoFundMe page has been set up to fund their replacement.

In spite of the crowded conditions, I came away with over ninety photos of some really exceptional cars, along with the race cars and a few shots around the grounds. You can see them at this link:
