New Ongoing Exhibition for 2024!
Rokeby’s new ongoing exhibition, “Seeking Freedom: The Underground Railroad and the Legacy of an Abolitionist Family,” explores the history and ongoing legacy of enslavement in the U.S. and the complicated story of the Robinson family as they went from enslavers in earlier generations to abolitionists in the 19th century.
New 2024 Seasonal Exhibition
Rokeby Museum is a place that inspires visitors with the Robinson family’s history of Anti-Slavery Advocacy, Art, and Agriculture. This year’s seasonal exhibition, “Artifacts & Anecdotes: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Rokeby Museum,” features objects and stories that inspire our volunteers and their work to continue the Robinson family’s legacy.
Historic Robinson Home
The historic home tour is an intimate experience, during which visitors encounter the stories of all four generations of the Robinsons on their own terms — and in their own spaces. Guided tours of the historic home and outbuildings are available Wednesday–Monday, with tours at 11 am and 2 pm. Tours last approximately one hour.
