Black History Month: “History Detectives” at Rokeby

Past event
Feb 10, 2019, 2 to 3 PM

Children ages 7 to 12 are invited to become "History Detectives" in this interactive Rokeby Museum program. They will meet Simon, Jesse, Jeremiah Snowden, and others — all fugitives from slavery who were sheltered at Rokeby as they examine the evidence — letters from the Museum collection — to discover what these people felt, what was important to them, and what they did to make their lives better.

Also on Sundays throughout February, the museum's award-winning multi-media exhibit "Free & Safe: the Underground Railroad in Vermont" will be open from noon to 5:00 p.m.

$8/adult; $6/children age 5 and up.
Rokeby Museum, 4334 Rte. 7, Ferrisburgh, VT 05464. (802) 877-3406 info@rokeby.org, www.rokeby.org
