Riley Home Events

The JW Riley Boyhood Home and Museum is happy to launch its "Traveling with JW Riley" campaign on March 1, 2021. The campaign will run through the end of the year. Thanks to our friends at NineStar Connect and the Daily Reporter, we are printing our version of "Flat Stanley".
We felt that a campaign to bring Riley into our elementary schools, whether students are studying from home or in the classroom, was a good goal for this year. Students are encouraged to take Riley with them on family outings, send him to relatives out of town/state and then post his adventures on our Facebook and Instagram pages using #travelingwithjwriley.
We are excited to confirm participation of all of our Greenfield-Central School district 3rd graders, but we ask the public to get involved as well.
Our Riley interpreter is none other than Ned the NineStar Connect mascot! You may have seen him in their advertising. You can pick up your FREE copy of "Ned Riley" in the Museum Gift Shop or print from home at jwrileyhome.org.
We can't wait to see how far Riley will travel in 2021!
