Written by Lon Cohen  |  22. June 2020

East Hampton has some great history. Including a witch trial that predates the more famous ones in Salem. Here we present some more old pics from East Hampton. (See another post of great old pics here.)

Above: The house was probably built by Josiah Hobart about 1680, but was exchanged for land belonging to Samuel Mulford in 1698. The house descended in the Mulford family until the mid-19th century, when it passed briefly into Hedges family ownership. Repurchased later in the century by Samuel Green Mulford, the house remained in the Mulford family until its acquisition by the East Hampton Historical Society in 1948. Restoration of the frame exterior cladding, chimney, and interior fabric was carried out in 1950 under the direction of supervising architect Aymar Embury II.
