In this restored farmhouse, East Hampton history during the 1880s-1930s comes alive. We are a unique living history museum where visitors can not only look at authentically furnished rooms but also can touch most of the objects on display.

Originally, this property was common ground. In the 1700âs the Dominy Family operated a wind powered saw mill here. Most lumber in the old houses was mulled here. Over the years the Dominys built and ran at least three different mills, as several burned down and had to be replaced. This saw blade is a reminder of all the lumber milled here. #easthampton #easthamptonhistory #dominy @ East Hampton Historical Farm Museum
Still true- you need a permit to take shellfish from town waters. #easthampton #easthamptonhistory

Here is another view of the cast iron Tillinghast stove. From the patent dates on the side, it must be after 1918.
This cast iron stove came from the Tillinghast Farm which was located on the corner of Woods Lane and Georgica Rd. Donated by Tom Tillinghast.
Do you have any vintage (1870-1930) baseball memorabilia? We would love to include local team items in our exhibit this year. Unfortunately, we do not have a copy of this book. If you do, youâre very lucky!

Edible East End
The Bonacker Christmas menu would have included anything that could be caught or fishedâwild turkey and deer were more than plentiful. Fishermen would have brought back fish, scallops, clams and even lobsters, which were plentiful on the East End back then.
Need a gift for someone special? Maybe someone who has moved away? Or someone who is new to the area? Any of these (or all three) would be a thoughtful gift for someone hosting a holiday party! East Hampton book- $15, Springs book- $10, playing cards- $10.

Scout day at the farm!
On Saturday we hosted a Scout Day for local boy scouts and girl scouts. They practiced scouting skills, toured the museum and barn, learned about the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day, received free harmonicas and lessons, and generally had a fun day. If you have more pictures please post them here.
On Veterans Day, remember all who served. Today is the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them - 100 years ago, one of the deadliest wars in human history came to an end. On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the First World War was over.
Watch live as the UK marks the 100th anniversary of the Armistice and follow events on our liveblog: http://po.st/AJE2S1

Yesterday, we had a group of local homeschoolers enjoy a presentation on metal detecting and then a tour of the farm house. We love to share our enthusiasm for history and see it spark in others! #easthamptonhistory #easthampton #farmmuseum #homeschool #thisplacematters
Yesterday, metal detecting expert, Peter Zegler, introduced a group of kids and parents to this fascinating activity that literally brings history up out of the ground. He talked about the equipment needed, the protocols to follow and the interesting artifacts he has found. The group enjoyed a demonstration and then participated in a dig at the farm museum. #easthampton #metaldetecting #farmmuseum #easthamptonhistory #homeschool
