Mulford Farm
About Mulford Farm
The Mulford Farm on James Lane was built in the last quarter of the 1600's by Captain Josiah Hobart. A year after his death in 1711, it was sold to Samuel Mulford. The Mulford descendants continued to live in the house until World War II, thus its present name.
The East Hampton Historical Society acquired the farmstead in 1948.
