Hands-On History

Past event
Sep 12, 2022, 5:30 to 6:30 PM

A family program for all ages!

Gather at Charlotte Library for a hands on history program with staff from the Rokeby Museum. For almost two-hundred years, four generations of the Robinson family lived at Rokeby Farm in Ferrisburgh. Hear stories about the Robinsons and touch some of the very objects they loved and used! Read the Robinson's letters and discover what these historic Vermonters found important. At times, the Robinsons lives were extraordinary, such as their work on the Underground Railroad. At other times, their lives were ordinary, as they completed farm chores, raised a family, and battled the elements in the harsh north. Together we'll reflect on their stories, and learn in what ways their lives were similar and different from our own!
