Registration for a lantern-light tour of Main Street historic buildings on Dec. 3 is being taken by the East Hampton Historical Society, either on its website or by phone. Hugh King and Richard Barons will guide visitors around Clinton Academy, the Osborn-Jackson House, the First Presbyterian Church, Mulford Farm House, and Home, Sweet Home as they were illuminated before electricity came to East Hampton. The cost is $10 for society members and $15 for others. These tours have limited attendance and fill up fast.

Advance tickets are on sale for this season's house and garden tour, to be held from 1 to 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 27. They are $75 and rise to $85 the day of the tour. A cocktail party the evening before will be held at the Maidstone Club from 6 to 8 p.m., for which tickets are $200 and include tour admission. Registration is at easthamptonhistory.org/events.
