| Village of East Hampton
Town Pond
Once a watering place for East
Hampton's cattle, today it is an integral part of the East
Hampton Historic District.
South End Cemetery
This cemetery which was once part
of a church yard was also the site of the first meeting house.
This is the oldest burying ground in the Town of East Hampton,
with tomb stones dating back to the 17th century.
The Town House
 
Built in 1731, the first town
meeting hall and school house was moved several times before
its final location near the Clinton Academy. Today, visitors
can attend "interactive" history classes presented in period
costume.
The Village Green
The Common, where village
cattle once grazed, originally stretched from the edge of
Town Pond to the Hook Mill Green. A cart track on one side
of the green was the principal highway through town. Picket
fences in front of the Main Street houses kept cattle from
straying. The Green was paved in the business district in
the early 1900's. The lower portion was kept intact, and today
forms the center of East Hampton's Historic District.
Home
Sweet Home
Once the childhood home of
John Howard Payne, America's theatrical superstar of the early
1800's and author of the immortal song "Home Sweet Home,"
this 17th century house has been the inspiration of countless
authors and artists. It is open to visitors daily from 10am
- 4 pm and features an extraordinary collection of furniture
from three centuries and an early 19th century windmill. Guided
tours.
Mulford Farm
For three centuries this house
was the center of a working farm. In the late 1940's the house
was saved from destruction and given to the East Hampton Historical
Society. Open during the summer months, the Mulford Farm's
house and barn offer visitors a fascinating glimpse into the
past of East Hampton.
Clinton Academy
Built in 1784, it was the first
chartered secondary school in New York State. Now under the
direction of the East
Hampton Historical Society,
it is used for exhibitions lectures and other activities.
Hook
Mill
Built by Nathaniel Dominy IV in
1806, it incorporates the original main post of the 1736 Hook
Mill. This picturesque Mill is kept in working order by the
Village of East Hampton. A marvel of wood technology, the
mill is open to the public for tours during the summer months.
Osborn-Jackson House
This Colonial house, built in
1740, is the East Hampton Historical Society's administrative
headquarters.
