People have been asking about the new benches at Rokeby! There are 5 around the property - two near the museum and 3 on the back field. While the shape may seem funny, these were built for bird watching! Just turn around and use the back to rest your arms! Visitors are welcome to use these year-round!
Thank you to everyone who helped to build benches for the museum and to the organizers - Mid-Champlain Valley Regional Conservation Partnership, Land Ethic Vermont, Audubon Vermont, Vermont Coverts, and the Ferrisburgh Conservation Commission.

Hey @metmuseum, we know who the artist of this poster is!
https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/362633
Rachael Robinson Elmer illustrated Barbary Sheep, and her work was used for the poster. The Museum`s collection has a signed copy of the poster dedicated "to the artist."
Rachael grew up at Rokeby. At her death in 1919, her collection of artwork was brought back to her family home and is now part of the Museum`s collection. Rokeby Museum frequently displays her work and the artwork of her talented family members.
