Jay Day Fall Family Festival Sponsored by the Young Preservationists

Step back to Colonial times and meet rare American heritage farm animals at the Jay estate. Randall lineback cattle, American Jackstock donkey, blue rabbits and Indian runner ducks are just some of the endangered native breeds that will be on view courtesy of the Tilly Foster Farm Museum and the Whipple Foundation/Society for the Preservation of Putnam County Antiquities and Greenways.

Seasonal refreshments will include cider, a New York State wine and cheese tasting and more; activities for adults and children include chamber music on the veranda; tours by 19th century costumed docents of the historic Jay Property buildings and grounds; facepainting and balloon animals by James Daniel Entertainment. Children can build their own Greek Revival building in a mini architecture exercise in the Carriage House. Farmers market offerings like zinnias and fingerling potatos from Wingnut Farm and more.
