New storywalk on the Green Trail! 🍂📖🍂
Donald Hall`s award-winning children`s book is a glimpse of rural life in the early-19th century, framed by a farmer’s yearly trip to market to sell his goods and purchase supplies, all brought to life with charming illustrations by Barbara Cooney.
Though Ox-Cart Man takes place on a farmstead next door in New Hampshire, the routine and lifestyle depicted would have been very familiar to the Robinsons here at Rokeby. To be a farming family meant to make use of everything you had, from the crops you grew to the livestock you raised, and everyone was expected to chip in and help. Walk the Green Trail and learn how even the youngest family members worked hard to keep the farm producing year-round.
Rokeby`s nature trails are free and open to all!
