FOLLOW NEW YORK STATE'S PATH THROUGH HISTORY TO RYE!

 New Yorkers have been proud to be at the forefront of Civil Rights and now a new statewide initiative traces our shared heritage and struggle for equality.
Signs installed this summer on the Hutchinson River Parkway and US Route 1 will now help direct visitors and school groups to the National Historic Landmark home of 
John Jay and his descendants in Rye. Jay's efforts to abolish slavery began in 1777 and culminated in his signing of the Gradual Emancipation Act in 1799.  

Save the Date! Sunday, September 28, 2014 11am -  3pm

Under Construction - New Website and More Ways to Connect with JHC
With dynamic plans to restore the buildings and gardens at the 23 acre Jay Estate well underway, it's time for a new interactive website to help our local visitors and our national audience better connect with us. Thank you for your patience as we get ready to roll out our new portal! In the interim please follow us for daily updates on our Facebook, Twitter, and many other social media sites. 

We look forward to seeing you soon!
