Sands Ring House built in 1760 by David Sands. The Sands descendants lived there until 1907. It was later purchased by the Village Improvement Society who made much needed improvements and opened as a tea room.  The house was acquired by the town in 1954. 
​Today schoolchildren visit the house to learn about 18th century crafts.
