Abenaki Artifacts at Rokeby Museum Oct. 23

Past event
Oct 23, 2016, 3 to 4 PM

Join us on Sunday, October 23 at 3:00 pm at the Rokeby Museum in Ferrisburgh when Frederick Wiseman presents his work on Rokeby’s Abenaki artifacts. Rowland E. Robinson had friends among the Abenaki who camped, hunted, and fished along the shores of Lake Champlain. He collected baskets, snowshoes, and other items, some of which are unique in New England. Frederick Wiseman will share his research into this little-known archaeological and ethnographic collection, featuring some surprising pieces.

Professor Wiseman is an emeritus professor from Johnson State College and directs the Wobanakik Heritage Center in Swanton, Vermont.

Admission to the program only is $2 – or free with Museum admission. This is the last program Rokeby will host before we close for the season on October 30 . If you haven't visited yet this year, now is the time!
