Located in East Hampton, the hamlet of Wainscott, like many Hamptons communities, is very small, consisting of a mere 628 residents, as of a recent census. What it lacks in excitement, however, it makes up for with its own quiet charms. Wainscott isn’t a place for people craving the thrills of bustling nightlife but for people craving a getaway from the bright lights and loud noises of Manhattan. So quaint is Wainscott, in fact, that up until 2008, it housed the very last single-room, public school in New York State.
