    IN 2024, LONGHOUSE RESERVE WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FROM ALL YEAR, WEEKENDS JANUARY-MARCH AND FIVE-DAYS A WEEK APRIL THROUGH DECEMBER. ANNUAL ATTENDANCE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000, INCLUDING SCHOOL GROUPS, GARDEN TOURS, AND SPECIAL PROGRAMS. THE SEASON FEATURED NEW LOANS TO THE ART IN THE GARDEN PROGRAM. LONGHOUSE HELD REGULAR ART AND GARDEN TOURS. OTHER PUBLIC PROGRAMS IN 2024 INCLUDED OUR ANNUAL SUMMER BENEFIT, JACK'S BIRTHDAY CONCERT, OUR ANNUAL LANDSCAPE LECTURE WEEKEND, AND LONGHOUSE ILLUMINATED, OUR WINTER HOLIDAY LIGHT SHOW. IN ADDITION TO THESE SPECIAL EVENTS, OUR CALENDAR WAS FULL OF ARTIST TALKS, AUTHOR TALKS, WORKSHOPS, AND FAMILY ACTIVITIES. EDUCATION PROGRAMS INCLUDED DOCENT-LED SCHOOL TOURS, CURRICULAR GUIDES, FAMILY ACTIVITY GUIDES, AND SUMMER INTERNSHIPS FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS. IN ADDITION, 2024 CONTINUED THE TRANSITION TO A BOARD AND STAFF LED INSTITUTION (FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF JACK LENOR LARSEN IN 2020), WITH NEW BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF MEMBERS JOINING. LONGHOUSE ENTERED TWO MAJOR PROCESSES: A CHANGE OF USE (RESIDENTIAL TO MULTI-USE) WITH THE TOWN OF EAST HAMPTON WITH THE GOAL OF OPENING THE HOUSE FOR PUBLIC TOURS; AND AN APPLICATION TO BE LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES, AN INVITATION WE RECEIVED FROM NEW YORK STATE. WE CONDUCTED TWO STUDIES FUNDED BY THE IMLS: A MUSEUM ASSESSMENT PROGRAM EVALUATION ON OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE, AND A COLLECTIONS ASSESSMENT PROGRAM EVALUATION FOR CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF OUR COLLECTIONS.
