From the same spot where Jay stood to toast the end of the Revolutionary War, you can gaze out on the water and imagine the limitless possibilities that a young founding father envisioned for his nation.
The award-winning Jay Estate Gardens not only reflect the historic context, but aim to restore native species and to cultivate an appreciation and understanding of sustainable landscapes through partnerships and public outreach. The mansion is steps away from one of the gates to access the fenced gardens, so they cannot be missed.
