Captain Ezra Nye House, 152 Main St.

Built in 1828, this is the home of the most famous sea captain in Sandwich. Ezra Nye was a distant cousin of lawyer Seth Nye. Ezra went to sea at age 11 and became a captain at age 21. He sailed packet ships from Boston to Liverpool and set the record doing a round trip in 34 days. He transitioned to steam and set the record to Liverpool arriving in slightly less than 10 days. He also rescued a British passenger ship at sea and received a medal from Queen Victoria.

He married innkeeper Fessenden's daughter and presented her with a wedding home which is across the street and now part of the Dan'l Webster Inn. They did not live there very long and he built this larger home directly across the street.

Later, this became the home of Theodore Kerns who was the head of the glass cutting operations at the Boston and Sandwich Glass Factory.
