Toast 250 Colonial Celebration at Wayside Cottage

Colonial Celebration for All Ages This Sunday at Wayside Cottage

Wayside Cottage will transform into a Revolutionary-era tavern for all ages at "Toast 250!" on Sunday, June 14, 2026 from 2:00-6:00 PM. The free event hosted by Revolutionary Westchester 250 (RW250) and the Junior League of Central Westchester (JLCW) will celebrate the Semiquincentennial (1776-2026) and the 325th anniversary of Scarsdale with music and merriment for all ages.

Scarsdale Village’s oldest landmark, Wayside Cottage was occupied by the Varian family during the Revolutionary War years. Listed on the National Registry of Historic Sites, Wayside Cottage is believed to date back to between 1713-1717, and has evolved and grown over the years from a one-room farmhouse, to a drover's inn, tavern, post office, and Village library. As the present-day custodians, the JLCW has carried out widespread restorations and returned it to its rich Colonial past. Sunday's event will be a rare opportunity to tour the landmark.
