Save the date! Rokeby Museum is reviving our Conversations in History series with a special guest speaker. Join us at the Ferrisburgh Town Hall on Saturday, September 12th at 3:00 pm for "Bridging Divides in a Nation at War: A Vermont Conversation on Peace and Power" with @isaac_evans_frantz. Isaac and audience members will explore the costs and benefits of war for Vermonters, and the role of the Green Mountain State in a country nearly constantly at war.
Isaac Evans-Frantz is a lifelong Vermonter, political activist, and public servant. With the non-partisan Action Corps, Isaac played a pivotal role in Congress’ historic passage of bipartisan legislation reasserting Congress’ power over war during the first Trump administration. Isaac holds a Master in Public Administration from the City University of New York. Through his leadership, Isaac remains committed to advancing freedom and unity for Vermonters and people everywhere.
"Bridging Divides in a Nation at War" is a Vermont Humanities Council Program hosted by Rokeby Museum. This program is FREE and accessible to the public.

New books are in at Rokeby Museum! We`ve added a few recent titles to our gift shop. Stop by and pick up some spectacular non-fiction, such as the much-talked about "A Resistance History of the United States" (2026) by Tad Stoermer or "We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance" (2024) by Kellie Carter Jackson. More in the mood for fiction? Try "The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store" (2023) by James McBride, one of our winter Book Club picks, which has remained a staff favorite. And for a taste of something quintessentially Vermont, grab "The Salt Stones: Seasons of a Shepherd`s Life" (2025), a memoir by Helen Whybrow.
Then, take some time to browse our other great books on offer, including original copies of Rowland E. Robinson`s books, as well as unique gifts from local artists. Even before you step foot in our exhibit, there`s plenty to see at Rokeby Museum!

Another Annual Pie & Ice Cream Social comes to a close. Rokeby Museum would like to thank everyone who came out and enjoyed themselves last Sunday. We had over 230 visitors over the course of the day, with dozens of pies sold! A huge thank-you goes to our tireless volunteers who provided pies, set up tents and tables, served visitors, and otherwise made this event a success! We would also like to thank the members of Meander VT for providing live music, as well as the following sponsors for supporting the event: @starrynightcafevt, @pomerleaurealestatevt , Gaines Insurance Agency, and @mcelwain_contracting
Rokeby Museum is proud to be a local institution, and it is thanks to visitors like you that we can continue telling our stories for years to come. Be sure to visit again before the summer is finished!

Rokeby Museum continues our series on Rowland E. Robinson (1833-1900) with another excerpt from his 1896 work, "In New England Field and Woods."
AUGUST DAYS
"With such unmistakable signs made manifest to the eye and ear the summer signals its fullness and decline, that one awakening now from a sleep that fell upon him months ago might be assured of the season with the first touch of awakening.
To the first aroused sense comes the long-drawn cry of the locust fading into silence with the dry, husky clap of his wings; the changed voice of the song birds, no more caroling the jocund tunes of mating and nesting time, but plaintive with the sadness of farewell...
The bluebird`s abbreviated carol floats down from the sky as sweet as then, but mournful as the patter of autumn leaves. The gay goldfinch has but three notes left of his June song, as he tilts on the latest blossoms and fluffy seeds of the thistles...
The trees are dark with ripened leafage...The brook trails its attenuated thread out of the woodland gloom to gild its shallow ripples with sunshine and redden them with the inverted flames of the cardinals that blaze on the sedgy brink...
Summer wanes, flowers fade, bird songs falter to mournful notes of farewell; but while regretfully we mark the decline of these golden days, we remember with a thrill of expectation that they slope to the golden days of autumn, wherein the farmer garners his latest harvest, the sportsman his first worthy harvest, and that to him that waits, come all things, and even though he waits long, may come the best."
