GOOD HELP WAS HARD TO FIND
[In the first years of its founding], East Hampton, like other English towns, sought to attract millers and other artisans. In November 1653, the town agreed with Vinson Meigs that if he would build a mill, they would pay him 50 shillings, give him 40 acres of land, and transport lumber and millstones for him.

TALES OF THE LIGHTHOUSE
Living on Montauk meant little contact with the outside world, so mail delivery was a much-anticipated event for my great-grandmother and her family when they lived at the Montauk Lighthouse. In the summer, mail was brought by wagon to Third House, where Emily and her mother would walk to pick it up. It was a four-mile hike once a week to fetch it, and that was a good day's effort over such hilly terrain.

The Old Church
Artifacts from East Hampton's second Presbyterian Church building, erected in 1717 to replace the original 1651 structure, have gone on display in the church, commemorating both the town's and the congregation's tricentquinquagenary. The Presbyterian Church evolved from the religious meetings of the first settlers, who were Puritans.
