This year’s annual East Hampton House & Garden Tour, presented by the East Hampton Historical Society, will consist of five unique and stylish houses that showcase the finest examples of historical and modern architecture in the Hamptons. Now in its 32nd year, this self-guided tour offers a one-time-only glimpse inside some of the most storied local residences that capture the spirit and essence of living on the East End.

Whether your tastes gravitate more towards the charming classic shingled cottage, a historic Greek Revival farmhouse, or the clean, crisp lines of contemporary architecture, this year’s lineup of properties has something for everyone. “We believe it is the mix of architectural styles – from the 19th century to today – that gives East Hampton its unique character and flavor,” says Richard Barons, the executive director of the East Hampton Historical Society.

This White Farm House was built on a foundation from 1750 and has the honor of being on the National Register of Historic Places.
