Happy New Year from Rokeby Museum!
We`re kicking off 2026 with a slate of winter programming! Join our book club for a virtual discussion over Zoom each month. Don`t forget the Traveling Book Club, a collaborative series with other historic Addison County institutions. Read a book connected to each site, then meet up for an in-person discussion!
Conversations in History continues on January 24th with a talk from former director of Rokeby Museum, Jane Williamson, on her research tracing the life of Jesse, a Freedom Seeker.
Don`t miss our special guest speaker, Meg Mott, PhD, who will be leading a workshop on March 29th. "A Dramatic Constitution" invites attendees to consider opposing arguments on the merits of the Constitution and to develop the habits of political engagement.
This talk is free, open to the public, and accessible to those with disabilities. "A Dramatic Constitution" is a Vermont Humanities Council program hosted by Rokeby Museum.

Last January, Rokeby Museum made the decision to set up trail cameras on our nature trails. While it took a few tries to figure out the best locations, our efforts have been rewarded time and again with beautiful snapshots of the wildlife you can find roaming our grounds. From the familiar critters of everyday life to the more unusual specimens, these have been very popular with our followers.
That`s why we`ve put together a "Best of 2025" compilation of our best shots. Take a look and let us know what your favorite is!
1. Eastern Coyote
2. Bobcat
3. Bear
4. Domestic Shorthair
5. Long-tailed Weasel
6. Eastern Gray Squirrel
7. White-Tailed Fawn
8. Raccoon
9. Field Mouse
10. Male and Female Mallards
If you`d like to experience our walking trails, they are open free of charge every day, from dawn to dusk. Take a walk and see what you`ll find!

Happy Holidays from everyone at Rokeby Museum! As we enter the last days of 2025, we can`t help but look back on the amazing year we`ve had. Visitors came from all over the country to immerse themselves in the story of Rokeby and the Underground Railroad. Our educational tours served students across the state, and our programming brought history to life with community readings and theatrical performances. Beyond abolition, our seasonal exhibit brought the artwork of the Robinson women to the forefront, connecting visitors with a different side of the family.
The story we tell at Rokeby goes beyond one generation and one moment in time. It connects across eras and into the modern day. When you support Rokeby Museum, you aren`t just helping us to preserve an important piece of history. Your contributions help us expand our efforts and find new ways to connect with the community. This holiday season, we thank all of our donors for their incredible gift.
As an independent non-profit, your donation truly makes a difference for our work. Help us continue our mission here: https://rokeby.org/support/

As we wrap up the year, one of our favorite tasks at Rokeby is the transcription of our guestbook. This year, we received a flood of lovely compliments to the museum, exhibits, and programs, signed with names and home states. We used these comments to create a map tracking the states our visitors traveled from in 2025.
As one might expect, New England is heavily represented, but we had quite a few visitors from the South, and even some from the other side of the country! Vermonters know Rokeby Museum is worth a cross-country trip, and we`re happy to see that others agree.
Of course, not every visitor signed our guestbook, and this map isn`t complete. Did you visit Rokeby this year from out of state? Is it a state not marked on our map? Drop a comment, and we`ll update it before the year`s end!
As always, thanks to everyone who visited, and we`ll see you in the new year!
