SUMMARY:East Hampton Historical Society Restoration of Mulford Farmhouse Le
 ads to Twenty-Fold Increase in Daily Visitor Attendance
DESCRIPTION:The East Hampton Historical Society has announced that the newl
 y 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 Revolut
 ionary War-era appearance. With the farmhouse also open to the public sign
 ificantly more often than it was the previous year\, overall seasonal att
 endance increased by approximately 100-fold. \n\nThe successful reopening 
 and dramatic increase in visitation were made possible through generous gr
 ant support from Ralph Lauren\, the Ladies Village Improvement Society\, M
 arsha 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 f
 or the 2026 summer season and provide visitors with a more immersive under
 standing of life in East Hampton during the American Revolution.\n\n“We
 ’re incredibly grateful for the support of Ralph Lauren\, the Ladies Vil
 lage Improvement Society\, Marsha Soffer\, Discover Long Island and the Ne
 w 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 a
 nd individuals who funded this project not only helped restore an importan
 t East Hampton landmark but also demonstrated how investing in historic pr
 eservation can promote tourism and contribute to the local economy.”\n\n
 The newly restored farmhouse allows visitors to explore the stories of tho
 se who lived on the property during the Revolutionary era and better under
 stand East Hampton’s role during this pivotal period in American history
 . The twenty-fold increase in daily summer attendance\, coupled with the s
 ignificant increase in overall visitation\, demonstrates the impact that i
 nvestment in historic preservation can have on public access and engagemen
 t.
