SUMMARY:Prelude to the Revolution in a New York Border Town
DESCRIPTION:On July 11\, 1776\, Rye resident John Thomas Jr. read the Declaration of Independence publicly from the footsteps of the White Plains Courthouse.

Many in Rye and the surrounding towns remained loyal to the King and were deeply opposed to independence. \nJoin us on February 1\, 2026 at 3:00 PM at the Rye Free Reading Room to hear Rye resident Lear Beyer discuss the unique history of our area leading up to the Revolution and how it became the epicenter of America’s first Civil War. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Native Americans in Rye
DESCRIPTION:Embark on a voyage through time as we uncover the rich legacy of the Native Americans who once called Rye\, NY their home. Guiding us through this engaging presentation and interactive Q&A session is Joie Cooney\, a Rye resident and Rye Historical Society Board Member. Drawing upon a trove of resources\, including artifacts from the Rye Historical Society’s collection\, insights from local historians\, Lenape descendants\, and eminent scholars\, Joie will delve into 13\,000 years of Native American history. Learn about Rye’s first residents – how they lived\, the historical events that shaped them\, what they left behind\, and their survival as a people. \nAttendees will also have the unique opportunity to view select Native American artifacts from our Morgan Seacord Collection currently being catalogued by Josie LaRiccia. Josie began volunteering with the Rye Historical Society in 1993 as part of an archaeology course at Norwalk Community College\, where she identified and catalogued over 1500 artifacts from the Morgan Seacord Collection. After a decades-long hiatus\, she reconnected with RHS in 2023 while enrolled in SUNY Westchester Community College’s Historic Preservation Certification program. Since then\, Josie has created an online inventory of all 1500 artifacts\, including original hand-written notes\, some dating as far back as the late 1800’s. Fascinating artifacts on display at the presentation will include arrowheads\, projectile points and other tolls for fishing and hunting\, as well as unique hand-drawn maps dating back as far as 1918. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Revolutionary Rye 250 Organizational Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Rye Historical Society invites you to join the Revolutionary Rye 250 organizational meeting. In partnership with Revolutionary Westchester 250 (RW250)\, we are planning local events leading up to the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. \nWe are seeking participants with an interest in the Revolutionary War era to join our efforts. We have open roles for those with an interest and experience in special events\, fundraising\, marketing\, or educational outreach. Please attend the meeting to learn more. \nWhat is Revolutionary Rye 250? \nRevolutionary Rye 250 (RR250) is a committee of the Rye Historical Society\, committed to researching\, preserving\, and celebrating the unique heritage of United States Revolutionary Era History. Inspired by America 250\, the NYS 250th Commemoration Commission\, and Revolutionary Westchester 250 (RW250)\, which commemorates the 250th anniversary or semiquincentennial of the Declaration of Independence\, RR250 is focused on the enduring legacy of the American Revolution\, with a special emphasis on our local narrative. \nThe original settlement of Rye began in 1660 at Peningo Neck\, established by a group of settlers who named it after Rye in Sussex\, England\, in 1665. Rye was initially part of a larger area acquired from Native Americans by settlers from Greenwich\, Connecticut. This area encompassed what are now Rye\, Port Chester\, and parts of Harrison and Purchase. Over time\, Rye’s broader boundaries evolved\, and the surrounding areas developed into the distinct towns and villages we know today. Our steering committee reflects members from the greater Rye community\, acknowledging this shared history. \nBy engaging various stakeholders—including residents\, educators\, artists\, the business community\, students\, and policymakers—RR250 seeks to foster a connection with our collective history. This engagement aims to deepen the understanding and appreciation of the events in and around Rye\, NY\, that have shaped the broader narrative of the United States\, showcasing the evolution of core ideals such as freedom\, liberty\, and justice over time. \nRSVP is required: Please confirm your attendance by emailing Anne Gold\, Executive Director\, at anne.gold@ryehistory.org. Please remember to include your name\, address\, email\, and phone number for our records. \n\n\n	Related
