On June 19, 1865, Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to take charge of the recently arrived federal troops. With the might of the Union Army behind him, Granger issued General Order No. 3, enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation and freeing the enslaved within the state. One year later, freedmen in Texas gathered to mark the anniversary of their liberty in a celebration that would eventually be known as Juneteenth.

Rokeby Museum will celebrate Juneteenth all day with free admission and an open house from 11:00 - 3:00! Docents will be on site to answer any questions as you explore the Robinson home where Freedom Seekers once stayed. Come stop by!

A very special thanks to @handsandheartfarm for bringing their wooly friends and providing the material for our wet felting activity at the craft table. Don't miss it!
