Guided Historic Landscape Tour

  •  August 4, 2022
     11:00 am – 12:00 pm

John Jay began to inherit his land near Bedford, New York in 1785, three years after his father died. The land here had been part of 5200 acres that had been owned by Jay’s maternal grandfather, Jacobus Van Cortlandt. Jay inherited 287 acres here in 1785, and another 316½ contiguous acres two years later when an aunt died. He began developing the land as an income-producing farm in 1787, strictly as an investment at first. He developed it further in the late 1790s, to become his home in retirement. His descendants lived here all the way into the 1950s, and as you walk around the property, you will see many features developed by the different generations of the Jay family. This guided tour is available Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays through October. A self-guided brochure is available at our Carriage Barn Education & Visitor Center as well. Space for the guided tour is limited; advanced ticket purchase is suggested. Ticket holders will meet their tour guide at the Carriage Barn Education & Visitor Center

Bee Day will consist of three events each Saturday focusing on local bees.
At 11:00 am will be an Introduction to Beekeeping session. This hour-long program is intended to give our guests an opportunity to learn more about the craft of beekeeping. The program will be held at our onsite apiary and led by local beekeeper Dennis (D. J) Haverkamp from Bedford Bee Honeybee Service. Participants will be able to see the inner workings of a beehive close up and experience the wonder of honey bees. Children and adults of all ages will be welcome to attend. The session will be followed by time for questions for those wanting to learn more.
At 1:00 pm will be the Westchester Beekeepers Network monthly meeting. The WBN is a newly formed group intended to help local area beekeepers network and develop more advanced beekeeping skills. A monthly Zoom lecture will be held the Thursday evening before the Saturday meeting for those who are unable to attend in person. The meeting will be held at the onsite apiary and will be the hands-on follow up demonstration of topics discussed during the Zoom session. The upcoming topics for April will be Observation Hives, for May will be Queen Rearing, and for June will be Royal Jelly. For more information visit the WBN website at westchesterbeekeepers.org.
At 3:00 pm will be the Gardening for Bees session. This series of programs is intended to help those who are interested in nurturing bee friendly plantings. With the growing awareness of the importance of bees and pollinators, the interest in bee friendly gardening has grown. We will be learning about good plants for bees, lawn alternatives, soil improvement, weed control, deer resistant plants, and ways to support local native solitary bee populations as well as honey bees. The session will be held at the Bee Garden next to the herb garden.
All programs will be open to the public and no reservation is required. Free admission.
