About Us
Rokeby Museum presents a nationally significant Underground Railroad story tucked inside a quintessential Vermont experience. Visitors will immerse themselves in the lives of four generations of the Robinson family of abolitionists, artists, and farmers, who called this site home from 1793 to 1961. New in 2024, "Seeking Freedom: The Underground Railroad and the Legacy of an Abolitionist Family" documents the history and ongoing legacy of enslavement in the U.S. and the Robinsons' journey from enslavers in earlier generations to abolitionists in the 19th century. An 1814 house is fully furnished with 200 years of family belongings. Nine historic farm buildings and acres of pastoral landscape invite a leisurely stroll or a hike up Rokeby's trails. Picnic tables accommodate lunch outdoors. Changing exhibitions, fine art, guided tours, school visits, and public events round out the Rokeby experience.
