Finding Jesse: How “Free & Safe” Became Reality at Rokeby

Past event
Feb 24, 2019, 2 to 4 PM

Historian and Rokeby Museum director emerita Jane Williamson will give an illustrated talk about the research she did to understand more fully the circumstances of fugitives who lived at, or passed through Rokeby. The talk will not only illuminate the practice of history, it will also provide an understanding of the Underground Railroad from the point of view of the escapees themselves.

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.
