Free & Safe: The Underground Railroad in Vermont

In honor of Black History Month, visitors may take advantage of special winter hours to visit the only permanent exhibition in New England that addresses slavery, abolition, and the Underground Railroad. The award-winning multi-media exhibit introduces visitors to Simon and Jesse, two fugitives from slavery who were sheltered at Rokeby in the 1830s. Tracing their stories from slavery to freedom, the exhibit also introduces the abolitionist Robinson family who called Rokeby home for nearly 200 years, and explores the turbulent decades leading up to the Civil War.

$8/adult; $6/children age 5 and up.
