Love US History? High School Students Docents Wanted by Jay Heritage Center ~Rye~

The Jay Property in Rye is the boyhood home of New York State’s only native Founding Father, John Jay (1745-1829).

Located next to a marshlands preserve with public trails, this sylvan and historic 23 acre park is all that remains of the original 400 acre Jay family estate where America’s first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and author of The Jay Treaty grew up.

The African American Heritage Trail of Westchester County lists the Jay property as one of 13 significant sites worth visiting. John Jay is well known for advocating emancipation, serving as President of the Manumission Society and establishing the first African Free School.

The Jay Heritage Center is located at 210 Boston Post Road in Rye. For complete docent details call (914) 698-9275. Tour guides needed for this summer and fall 2012.
