Civil War images of George Washington

Abraham Lincoln was not the only President whose image was important in the Civil War - George Washington as Founder of the original Union was revered and his image appeared in many forms like this printed envelope:
"In patriotic strains aloud, Thy fame the nation owns, Ofa ll the names whereof we're proud, There's none like Washington."

The Jay Family and the Abolition of Slavery - From Manummission to Emancipation

This exhibit will examine the role of John Jay and his descendants in abolishing slavery, from Revolutionary Times through to the Civil War. In this unique presentation that uses John Jay’s family home in Rye as a portal to the past, visitors will come to understand how Jay’s earliest antislavery efforts in 1777 through to his signing of Gradual Emancipation Act in 1799, were further advanced by his family through to the Civil War, including the enlistment of Jay's descendants in Union blue. The Jay Heritage Center’s collection of original Jay family letters, books, paintings, photos, Civil war flags and artifacts will be displayed for the very first time at this landmark event.

Opening May 14 as part of NY Heritage Weekend and on view through October
