In recognition of Black History Month, Rokeby Museum will be open Sundays in February, from noon to 5 p.m., for exhibits and special programs for children, teens, and adults.
Sunday February 16, 2:00 p.m.
Daisy and the Doll: story and craft workshop for kids Daisy and the Doll is a true story as told by Vermont's African American storyteller Daisy Turner. The story takes place in Grafton, Vermont in the 1890s, when Daisy was 8 years old. Her teacher gave Daisy a doll and a poem to present at an end-of- school program, but instead of memorizing the poem, Daisy surprised everyone by reciting a poem of her own. Children will find out what happened next, and make a doll using wooden clothespins and other materials that Daisy would have had for making playthings.
The program is appropriate for children ages 4 to 8. Parents or caregivers are welcome to participate or visit exhibits. Send an email if you plan to attend. This will help us be sure to have materials for everyone.
Museum admission 10/adult; $8/children age 5 and up.
