The road that brings you to the parking lot was created for public use in the 1960s. This historic entrance to the Jay property was what is now Lyon Ridge Road, half a mile to the north on Route 22; the entrance drive began there and wound through the woods behind the main house to connect with the circular drive in the front. The part of the original drive that adjoined the circle has grassed over. Most of the rest of it was on land that is now privately owned.
