Who We Are
About Rokeby Museum From 1793 to 1961, Rokeby was home to four generations of Robinsons – a remarkable family of Quakers, farmers, abolitionists, artists, and authors. Today, the Robinson family’s home is a National Historic Landmark, designated for its exceptional Underground Railroad history. Rokeby is among the best-documented Underground Railroad sites in the county, one the National Park Service has described as “unrivaled among known sites for its historical integrity and the poignancy of the stories it tells.” Telling the Robinson family stories is at the center of the Museum’s mission, which is to to inspire respect for human potential and the environment and “connect visitors with the human experience of the Underground Railroad and with the lives of the Robinsons, who lived on and farmed this land for nearly 200 years."
What We Do
