Osborn-Jackson House, c. 1740
The Osborn-Jackson House, named for its first and last owners was lived in by
six generations of Osborns until the late 1960's.
 The original portion of the house, probably built in
1723, was the family home of "Deacon" Daniel Osborn. His son, Jonathan inherited
the house and made additions in 1760. The house was owned successively by his
sons Joseph and Sylvanus, his grandson Edward E. Gardiner and their descendents
until the mid-20th century.
This colonial house, one of the few still in its original position on Main
Street, is owned and maintained by the Village of East Hampton. Lionel Jackson
donated the property to the Village of East Hampton in 1977 for use as a museum.
It serves as the headquarters for the East Hampton Historical Society and a
period house museum for the general public.
