The Jay Estate, boyhood home of U.S. Founding Father John Jay, spans 23 acres and is managed by the Jay Heritage Center as a National Historic Landmark. The recently restored 3-acre garden, designed by Nelson Byrd Woltz, blends historical influences from the 18th through 20th centuries while creating dynamic spaces for programs, events, and public engagement.
Max Touhey photographed the estate and its landscapes, capturing the interplay of historic architecture, restored gardens, and evolving public spaces to showcase the estate’s scale, character, and ongoing transformation.
