Mulford Farm Museum

The East Hampton Historical Society has announced that the newly restored Mulford Farmhouse welcomed 20 times as many visitors per day during the 2026 summer season compared to the previous year, following a significant restoration that returned the historic property to its Revolutionary War-era appearance. With the farmhouse also open to the public significantly more often than it was the previous year, overall seasonal attendance increased by approximately 100-fold. 
The successful reopening and dramatic increase in visitation were made possible through generous grant support from Ralph Lauren, the Ladies Village Improvement Society, Marsha Soffer, Discover Long Island and the New York Chapter of Daughters of Founders and Patriots of America. Their support enabled the Historical Society to complete the restoration, reopen the farmhouse to the public for the 2026 summer season and provide visitors with a more immersive understanding of life in East Hampton during the American Revolution.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the support of Ralph Lauren, the Ladies Village Improvement Society, Marsha Soffer, Discover Long Island and the New York Chapter of Daughters of Founders and Patriots of America for making the restoration possible,” says Steve Long, Executive Director of the East Hampton Historical Society. “The generosity of the organizations and individuals who funded this project not only helped restore an important East Hampton landmark but also demonstrated how investing in historic preservation can promote tourism and contribute to the local economy.” 
The newly restored farmhouse allows visitors to explore the stories of those who lived on the property during the Revolutionary era and better understand East Hampton’s role during this pivotal period in American history. The twenty-fold increase in daily summer attendance, coupled with the significant increase in overall visitation, demonstrates the impact that investment in historic preservation can have on public access and engagement.

The East Hampton Historical Society is excited to announce The History Festival, commemorating America’s semi quincentennial, on Saturday, October 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Mulford Farm (10 James Lane, East Hampton). Free and open to the public, the festival will bring history to life through colonial demonstrations, historical reenactors, performances and live music.
Mulford Farm provides a particularly meaningful setting for the celebration. The property recently underwent a comprehensive restoration highlighting its Revolutionary War-era appearance, with the exterior and interior layout remaining largely unchanged from how they would have appeared in 1776. Restoring the house to its 1770s appearance allows visitors to gain a deeper understanding of daily life in East Hampton during the American Revolution, including the essential role enslaved people of color played in sustaining the household during the British occupation.

For 27 years, the Shelter Island Fall 5K has united the community around its mission of raising awareness and critical funds for local organizations providing care and assistance to women facing cancer. Proceeds from the event benefit The North Fork Breast Health Coalition, The Coalition for Women’s Cancers and Lucia’s Angels, with race proceeds designated for patient care for women on the East End of Long Island.
“Our Shelter Island Fall 5K Run/Walk has been providing support for our neighbors on the East End for over 26 years,” said M.E. Adipietro, Race Director. “This event continues because of the beauty of the course, commitment and dedication of our participants and sponsors over the many years.
“Come out on Saturday, October 17th and enjoy a morning of exercise, free barbecue, medals for both adults and children.
“Experience our love and continued support for our neighbors on the East End affected by breast cancer, our promise to stand by them and fight against cancer will never waiver.”
The 3.1-mile course takes participants along Shelter Island’s picturesque tree-lined streets and rolling hills before finishing with panoramic waterfront views along Crescent Beach. The course is USATF certified, and runners and walkers of all abilities are encouraged to participate.
Following the race, participants can gather for a complimentary post-race barbecue, featuring homemade chili and cookies while supplies last. Registration also includes a finisher medal, and the first 400 registered runners will receive a complimentary race T-shirt.
Both the 5K Run and 5K Walk begin at 11 a.m. Registration is currently $45 for adults and $25 for children ages 12 and under. Participants are encouraged to register early, as prices will increase after October 12, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. EDT.
Race-day activities will take place at 35 Shore Road, Shelter Island, NY. Same-day registration will close at 10:30 a.m., and participants are encouraged to allow additional travel time for fall traffic and ferry schedules.

Congratulations on 20 years of Long Island Restaurant Week and thank you for your continued generosity and help raising awareness of food insecurity where we live, work, and raise our families together."
The 20th anniversary of Fall Long Island Restaurant Week will take place from Sunday, November 1 through Sunday, November 8, 2026, inviting diners across the Island to celebrate two decades of exceptional dining experiences, outstanding local restaurants and unbeatable prix fixe values.

“Reaching 20 years is an incredible milestone for Long Island Restaurant Week and a testament to the restaurants and diners who have supported the promotion year after year,” shares Nicole Castillo of Long Island Restaurant &amp; Hospitality Group. “What began as a way to encourage people to dine out and discover new restaurants has grown into a celebration of Long Island’s entire restaurant community. We are especially proud that along the way we have been able to give back to organizations addressing food insecurity right here on Long Island. As we celebrate this anniversary, we look forward to continuing to bring diners and restaurants together for many years to come.”
