The Edith G. Read Wildlife Sanctuary and Nature Center is a 179-acre park located on the shore of the Long Island Sound, along a migratory flyway. This sanctuary is home to a great diversity of marine life. In winter months, the 85-acre lake, a mixture of salt and fresh water, hosts over 5,000 ducks. The sanctuary has been recognized by the national Audubon Society of New York as an Important Bird Area due to its significant habitats and flyway. There are three miles of trails through forest and field. Along the half-mile of publicly accessible shore, the intertidal habitat harbors a wide diversity of plants and animals.
In 1992, a northeaster swept over the Edith G. Read Wildlife Sanctuary causing considerable erosion. The storm prompted the installation of unsightly concrete and asphalt piles to prevent future washouts. Eventually, invasive and highly adaptable common reeds took over the degraded site. In 2001, the concrete and asphalt were replaced with sandy dunes planted with native plants, such as beach grass (Ammophila breviligulata). The dunes’ core was made out of rock topped with sand. The plants’ root structures bind the sand, keeping the dunes in place so they can carry out their role as a natural storm barrier. The dunes now provide nesting and feeding habitat for native shorebirds.
Environmental education programs are offered to schools, scouts and other groups by advance reservation. Group size is limited to 30, and there is a modest fee based on group size and length of program.

Jay Heritage Center is located at 210 Boston Post Road, Rye, NY 10580. The Jay Center, a National Historic Landmark, is the boyhood home of New York State’s only native Founding Father, John Jay (1745-1829).

Located just 35 minutes from Manhattan, the Property has an 8000 year old scenic vista of Long Island Sound over a meadow bordered by sunken stone ha-ha walls, a European garden design feature added by Jay’s eldest son circa 1822. It is also located on the historic Boston Post Road where mile marker “24” out of 230, designated in 1763 by Jay’s colleague, Benjamin Franklin, is set into the perimeter wall.
The centerpiece of this National Historic Landmark is an 1838 Greek Revival mansion with soaring Corinthian columns built by Peter Augustus Jay atop the footprint of his father and grandfather’s original home “The Locusts” reusing original timbers and nails from the same house. Visitors can literally see the layers of history being uncovered here. The PA Jay House is being carefully restored and managed by the not-for-profit organization, the Jay Heritage Center (JHC) for use as an educational facility hosting Programs in American History, Social Justice, Landscape Conservation and Environmental Stewardship. The house is an official project of the Save America’s Treasures Program and at 170 years old, it is the oldest National Historic Landmark in New York State to be using an energy efficient geothermal heating and cooling system.

The following covers "History and Antiquities", a general collection of interesting facts, traditions, biographical sketches, and
anecdotes about Westchester County and its towns. When reading the following, remember to keep in mind that this
information has been written about two hundred years ago. Population statistics and events have not been revised to reflect
current events and perspective. We think this adds to the historical flavor and interest of the writings, giving a different
