Summer is in full swing at Rokeby Museum, and pretty soon, it`ll be time for one of our most beloved traditions — the Rokeby Pie & Ice Cream Social!
This year’s event will take place on Sunday, August 9th, 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm. There will be pies (of course), ice cream from Ben & Jerry`s, live music from Erik and Erica Andrus, raffle baskets, lawn games, and self-guided tours of the historic Robinson house! But this isn`t just a chance to mingle with your neighbors and eat some delicious desserts. Every sale goes to support the work of the Rokeby Museum, a vital historical and cultural landmark in our own backyard. And Rokeby wants *your* help!
If you`re able to donate a pie, Rokeby would love to feature it on our table. Interested? Sign up at the following link: https://rokeby.org/event/2026-pie-ice-cream-social/
A special thank you to this year`s sponsors: @starrynightcafevt , @pomerleaurealestatevt , Gaines Insurance Agency, and @mcelwain_contracting .

It`s been a while since our last trail camera post, but we couldn`t resist sharing this snapshot! This black bear was caught on June 28th enjoying a stroll on our Blue Trail. We`ve known bears to frequent our trails from time to time, but haven`t caught one so clearly on film before!
This is a great time to remind all of our visitors that while Rokeby`s nature trails are free and safe to use, we ask that our visitors always remain aware of their surroundings. Remember to leash your dogs and stick to the path. If you do encounter a wild animal, remain calm, give it plenty of space, and back away slowly. For more information, visit:

Rokeby`s trails are open from dawn to dusk. The trails are a little rough at the moment, so please come prepared for dense foliage and nature in full bloom!

Rokeby Museum has begun our annual bat census! In collaboration with @vtfishandwildlife, a team of Rokeby employees and volunteers have joined forces to monitor the many sites on our grounds where native bats are roosting in large numbers.
This data will be sent to the state to help future efforts to conserve our native bat population. If you are interested in helping out, please reach out at jahl@rokeby.org.
