A generous donor recently gifted Rokeby Museum nearly a full collection of the works of Rowland E. Robinson; 12 books, including two centennial editions! As Rokeby already has its own complete library, these donations will be added to our gift shop and available to purchase for all visitors. If you`ve ever been interested in the works of Rowland E. Robinson, or would like to get a glimpse of life in 19th-century Vermont through his eyes, now`s your chance!

In the late 1800s, Rowland E. Robinson (1833-1900) was a much-loved author. His works of local fiction, as well as his nature writings, made him a regular fixture in Vermont homes. Three decades after his death, his enduring fame resulted in the formation of the Rowland E. Robinson Memorial Association, the precursor to Rokeby Museum. Nearly a century later, Robinson`s star has dimmed considerably, but Rokeby remains committed to preserving his works and legacy.

If anyone has any copies of Rowland E. Robinson`s books, please know that Rokeby Museum is always accepting donations.

The leaves are changing, which means this is YOUR sign to visit Rokeby Museum before we end our 2026 season! October 11th will be Rokeby`s final day of our peak-season operating hours. There`s less than two weeks left to explore our main exhibit, Seeking Freedom, and your last opportunity to check out our seasonal art exhibit, "Help Each Other," a collaboration with graffiti artist Todd Drake, aka @quakerpirate

Just because we close our doors, however, doesn`t mean we`re done for the year! Don`t miss one of our biggest events, the Spirits of Rokeby, on October 16th, 17th, 23rd, and 24th. Witness a historic reenactment of a Spiritualist séance, based on authentic Robinson family records. Purchase tickets now at https://rokeby.org/series/2026-spirits-of-rokeby-the-impending-crisis/

Before we close, join Rokeby Museum and @unionmeetinghallvt at the Ferrisburgh Town Hall this Friday for a special potluck and trivia night celebrating America`s 250th, from 5:30pm-8:00pm.

And this fall/winter, feel free to explore our grounds and nature trails from dawn to dusk. Even off-season, there`s plenty to do at Rokeby Museum! We hope to see you soon.
