Rye Historical Society and School of the Holy Child would like to invite you to a memorial honoring two Rye residents, Rose and Jack. Rose and Jack were enslaved people who lived and worked on the Halsted property, known today as the Timothy Knapp House.
We are acknowledging the lives of Rose and Jack as part of the Witness Stones Project, a regional organization dedicated to highlighting the stories and contributions of people who were enslaved. Rye Historical Society and School of the Holy Child are the first institutions in New York State to participate in Witness Stones.
