The 1838 Peter Augustus Jay House and surrounding 23-acre (9.3 ha) Jay Estate form the centerpiece of the Boston Post Road Historic District of Rye, New York. The site is the surviving remnant of the 400-acre (1.6 km2) farm where one of America's seven Founding Fathers, John Jay (December 12, 1745 – May 17, 1829), grew up and where he also returned to celebrate the end of the Revolutionary War. The preserved property is located on the south side of the Boston Post Road (US 1) in Rye and has a 3⁄4-mile (1.2 km) view of Milton Harbor. It overlooks a 10,000+ year old Paleo-Indian archaeological site and the oldest man-managed meadow on record in New York State.
