Jay Heritage Center has added a photo to the pool:
Six local high school students from Rye Country Day School are working at the Jay Heritage Center through this week for their Senior term community service project. Their projects include organizing archaeological artifacts previously found at the site for use and demonstration to JHC summer campers. They have also started a new archaeology dig of their own at the site supervised by Dr. Eugene Boesch.
It is really terrific to see their enthusiasm and see the difference that a group effort like theirs can make. This is the 2nd year that students have participated in this week long examination of the cultural resources and manmade imprints on the land from Paleo-Indian times to the present.
Part of the day included a tour of the ruins of the Hayes house destroyed in the infamous New England Hurricane of 1938. This is what's left of the dock.
JHC will be holding 2 summer archaeology camps this July - one for kids and one for teens - please call Program Director Heather Craane at (914) 698-9275 for more information on how to enroll your child. Space is limited to 12 students per camp session.
