SUMMARY:John & Marianne Dwight Orvis: An Abolitionist & Artist Seek Utopia
DESCRIPTION:Rokeby Museum’s Conversations in History series continues Sunday\, April 26th\, with a special local interest. Join us at the Ferrisburgh Town Hall from 3:00–4:00 pm to learn about John & Marianne Orvis\, an extraordinary 19th-century couple who together led a life of activism and social reform. The talk will be given by Clark Hinsdale III\, Rokeby board member and direct descendant of the Orvises\, who rediscovered their story while documenting his own family history. \n\n\n\nThrough artifacts\, letters\, and works of art passed down by the family\, some only recently discovered\, learn how John Orvis was inspired by the abolitionist fervor of his Quaker community to join the fight against slavery. Later\, his interest in utopianism brought him to the Brook Farm Community in West Roxbury\, Massachusetts\, where he met his future wife\, Marianne Dwight\, whose journal would become an invaluable record of the community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\nPlease note: This event will be held at the Ferrisburgh Town Hall Community Center. Admission for this program will be $5 per person\, $10 per family. This program will be free to Rokeby members. \n\n\n\n
