Southampton is the largest and most populated of the East End Towns. Tree-lined streets, The Parrish Art Museum, the shopping along Job's Lane and Main Street, the finest beaches, the oldest 18-hole course in the nation, outdoor concerts, and the annual Shinnecock pow-wow are just some of the sites to be seen in this historic town. Southampton was founded in the 1640s and today has a number of sites on the National Historic Registry, including: the 1640 Halsey Homestead, New York State's first frame house, and the English General Erskine's headquarters during the American Revolution; the Pelletreau Silversmith Shop; and the Historical Museum. Southampton is also known worldwide as an important art community. Beginning in the 1900s with the founding of the Art School in Shinnecock Hills, artists such as Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, John Chamberlain, Larry Rivers, and many others, have maintained studios at one time or another in the surrounding area.
