Rokeby MuseumVisit
Rokeby Museum’s Visitor Center and Historic Farm Buildings are closed for the season. Our hiking trails are open year-round. We will re-open for 2022 in mid-May. Thank you to all who visited us this past season!
Exploring the Site — Guided Tours, Outbuildings, Hiking Trails
There are many things to see at Rokeby Museum and several ways to see them. A self-guided tour of the site and outbuildings is available at the reception desk and here.
Volunteers run the guided tours at Rokeby. We work hard to ensure a tour guide is on site but please call in advance to ensure tours are running the day of your visit. The Historic Robinson Home is undergoing preservation work therefore tours are currently entirely outside and held rain or shine. Picnic tables in the yard behind the house are available for lunch.
The hiking trails are open daylight hours year round. An interpretive brochure for the trails is available at the reception desk. Please note — A portion of Rokeby’s trails are closed during mud season. Please follow signage and help protect our trails.
