Katonah's John Jay Homestead to Receive Federal Grant

The renowned John Jay Homestead in Katonah is one of seven lower Hudson Valley historical sites in line to receive a portion of federal grants totaling $30,000, according to the office of Congresswoman Nita Lowey.

The other sites to receive funding from the National Heritage Area Heritage Development Grants program are the City of Beacon, Wallkill River School, National Maritime Historical Society, Friends of John Jay Homestead, Mount Gulian Historic Site, Palisades Park Conservancy, Inc., and Lyndhurst.

On Monday, April 27, the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area and the Hudson River Valley Greenway are holding a press conference at Lyndhurst to announce the grants, which were secured with the help of Lowey and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.

“These grants will support a wide range of historic and cultural projects, including installations, demonstrations, public outreach and education, and interactive technologies that will further enhance the rich arts and heritage tourism opportunities of the Hudson Valley,” according to the Hudson Valley groups.
