Page "Westchester County, New York" Paragraph 29

One of the Founding Fathers native to New York State, John Jay, grew up in Rye, New York and returned there to rest among his many descendants.

America's first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court served in every branch of US government and his boyhood home is now a National Historic Landmark, open to the public.

It is managed by the Jay Heritage Center.

The buildings on this historic site, including the 1838 Peter Augustus Jay House built by Jay's eldest son, are being restored for educational programs in American History, Architecture and Environmental Stewardship.
