Today, Rokeby Museum honors one of the greatest abolitionists in American history, William Lloyd Garrison. Born on this day, 1805, in Newburyport, Massachusetts, Garrison became one of the most prominent figures opposing enslavement. Founder of the American Anti-Slavery Society and publisher of abolition-focused newspaper, "The Liberator," Garrison`s advocacy inspired abolitionists across the country, from Angelina Grimké to Frederick Douglass.
The Robinsons were no exception, closely following Garrisonian principles such as non-violence and moral suasion. Not just adherents, the Robinsons were close associates and friends of Garrison, as seen in personal correspondence. Garrison praised Rachel for her writing and her commitment to boycotting goods made with enslaved labor. He referred to Rowland as his "dear friend" and spent time at Rokeby during his travels. In an 1878 letter, a year before the deaths of both men, Garrison named Rowland as "the most esteemed and the truest" of his friends and co-laborers.
Rokeby Museum is committed to carrying on the legacy of the Robinsons and their anti-slavery work. Preserving stories such as their relationship with Garrison is one part of this mission, and you can help by donating to Rokeby`s annual fund: https://rokeby.org/support/

Folks love our trail camera shots, so we had to share this incredible capture from our latest stakeout! This stunning coyote is immortalized at the very moment it approaches our camera, as the light, pre-Thanksgiving dusting of snow accentuates the change in seasons. Our trails keep Rokeby Museum connected to its natural roots and are maintained through the generosity of donors like you.
Help us keep our nature trails open and accessible by donating to Rokeby`s annual fund: https://rokeby.org/support/
Our nature trails are open year-round, dawn to dusk, free of charge. Stop by this Sunday, 12/7, from 12-4 to grab a complimentary hot cocoa during our Holiday Sale before heading out.
Stay tuned for an end-of-year compilation of our favorite wildlife shots!
