WFA Reunion 2026

WFA Reunion 2026

Nestled along Cape Cod Bay, Sandwich, Massachusetts is the oldest town on Cape Cod, founded in 1637. Known for its scenic marshes, historic charm, and iconic glassmaking heritage, Sandwich offers a blend of coastal beauty and rich New England history. Visitors can explore landmarks like the Sandwich Boardwalk, Heritage Museums & Gardens, and the Sandwich Glass Museum, all reflecting the town’s enduring character.

​

Sandwich also holds special significance for the Wing family. The Wing name traces back to early colonial America, most notably through Rev. John Wing and his descendants, who were among the early settlers of the region in the 17th century. Over generations, the Wing family became part of the fabric of New England life, contributing to the growth of communities across Massachusetts and beyond. Today, gatherings like the Wing Family of America Reunion celebrate this shared heritage, honoring the legacy, resilience, and connections that continue to unite Wing descendants.
