February is Black History month, and to celebrate, the Waterbury Public Library will be hosting Jane Williamson from the Rokeby Museum in Ferrisburgh to present a program on the history of the underground railroad in Vermont, on Sunday, February 2 at 2:00 PM at the Waterbury Senior Center.
Did you know that Vermont played a big role in the abolitionist movement during the 19th century? Thousands of African Americans escaped through Vermont on their way to Canada seeking freedom to avoid slavery and persecution, and the Robinson farmhouse in Ferrisburgh, Vt., which currently houses the Rokeby Museum, was just one of many stops along the way.
We hope you can join us for this special event which is FREE, open to the public and suitable for all ages. Light refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Waterbury Library.
