JAY — The Jay Historical Society’s Holmes-Crafts Homestead, Carriage House and Archive buildings at 14 Old Jay Hill road will open for the season from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 11.
The society will continue to be open from for those hours on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month between May and September.
Additionally, the buildings will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the three consecutive days of the Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day holidays. Admission to all of the Jay Historical Society’s buildings and events is free of charge.
The Jay Historical Society is obligated to provide an opportunity for community members to actively participate in the perpetuation of our local history. To that end, it is their goal to have a scheduled public event to benefit the community on every open day. The society is able to facilitate workshops, lectures and demonstrations and welcome teachers, craftspeople, themed speakers and anyone who has something to offer of an historical nature to the community to schedule a presentation day and time.
The events will continue to be scheduled throughout the summer and are subject to change based on availability. For further information, or to schedule an event, contact Matthew Ransom, JHS building access coordinator at 207-500-2402 or ab1yy@outlook.com.
