The East Hampton Historical Society is proud to announce their 2016 House & Garden Tour, showcasing some of the finest examples of historical and modern architecture in the Hamptons. From Egypt Close to Lazy Point, this year’s tour — consisting of five unique houses — celebrates 32 years of distinctive houses and is scheduled for Saturday, November 26th [from 1-4:30 pm]. Opening Night Cocktails will be held at the Maidstone Club on Friday, November 25th [6 – 8:30 pm].

The kick-off Cocktail Party welcomes in this year’s highly anticipated House Tour which officially rings in the East End holiday season in style. “From the Atlantic Ocean to Gardiner’s Bay, our House Tour Committee has creatively selected five houses that express the unique spirit of living on the East End. The East Hampton Historical Society’s annual house tour offers a one-time-only glimpse inside some of our town’s most storied residences,” said Richard Barons, the Executive Director of the East Hampton Historical Society.

“Whether you tend toward the charm of a classic shingled cottage, a historical Greek Revival farmhouse, or the clean lines of contemporary architecture, this year’s tour offers a combination of houses that are sure to delight. “We believe it is the mix of architectural styles — from the 19th century to today — that gives East Hampton its unique character and flavor,” said Mr. Barons.

“The House & Garden Tour is one of our most important fund-raisers,” said the event chairman Joseph Aversano. “This year’s tour will take you on an amazing journey from sea to bay, all within four miles. It is a visual feast of stylish houses. So, while you’re breathing in the sea air and enjoying the varied terrains and architectural styles, your dollars will support the East Hampton Historical Society’s museums and programs,” he said.

Tickets to the Opening Night Cocktail Party are $200 each, which includes entry to the House Tour the following day. Tickets to the self-guided 2016 East Hampton House & Garden Tour are $65 in advance and $75 on the day of the tour. Admission can be bought via:
