Jay Heritage Center

Organization Overview

The Jay Property in Rye is the boyhood home of New York State's only native Founding Father, John Jay (1745-1829). The Peter Augustus Jay House is being carefully restored and managed by the non-profit organization, the Jay Heritage Center (JHC), for use as a facility for cultural and educational programs and events. Offerings throughout the year focus on the topics of American History, Arts and Architecture, Social Justice Studies, Landscape and Environmental Stewardship. The 1907 Van Norden Carriage House, a second building being restored by the JHC, is a Classical Revival masterpiece in its own right. It serves as the Visitor Center and houses a permanent exhibit entitled "The Design of Providence" that explores the cultural imprints mankind leaves on the landscape and how that very same landscape shapes human character and behavior.
