350th Anniversary Celebration

HOUSE ON THE SKIDS
For a very long time, the practice of moving houses has been common in Sag Harbor and the surrounds. To quote the early 20th-century local historian Harry Sleight, "When they have nothing to do in Sag Harbor, they move a house."
Vanished Places
The Elm Tree Inn.
SHE SAVES HER BIRTHPLACE FROM THE WRECKER'S BALL
A saltbox house that the Osborn family of Wainscott believes was built in 1695 for the first Osborn settler there has been saved from the wrecking ball by a descendant of the family. It went on a short journey on March 12 up Beach Lane to a temporary location in a potato field.
UNDERGROUND PATRIOTS: REVOLUTIONARY GRAVES
"A Guide to American Revolutionary War Patriots Buried in the Town of East Hampton," a pamphlet researched and written by five members of the East Hampton Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, is on the point of publication. The report, issued to coincide with the town's tricentquinquagenary, covers 15 cemeteries.
What's In A Name?
COPECES LANE.
THE TASTE OF HISTORY
The cookbooks the East Hampton Ladies Village Improvement Society have published for more than a century are, to a degree, a community chronicle in their own right. An example, from the 1939 edition, is the following recipe, which was contained in a letter written by Mrs. J.L. Gardiner of Gardiner's Island, Dec. 11, 1852, to her granddaughter, Miss Sarah G. Thompson. Ingredients and instructions are commingled.
