Friends Of John Jay Homestead is a nonprofit member organization that supports the preservation, restoration, and interpretation of the John Jay Homestead State Historic Site, the 1787 home of Founding Father John Jay. Based in Katonah, New York, the group advances public appreciation of the site by providing volunteer effort and funding to supplement state efforts in maintaining a landmark associated with Jay, a key figure in early American governance. The organization serves the broader audience of visitors and local communities interested in national heritage and historic preservation, helping to sustain a property designated a National Historic Landmark in 1981 for its historical associations. Founded in 1977, it operates within the nonprofit sector focused on cultural and historic preservation, collaborating to ensure ongoing interpretation and conservation of the site. A recent development noted is its ongoing role as a steward of the homestead, continuing to support access and educational programming related to Jay’s legacy.
