'Quaker Made: Vermont Furniture, 1820-1835'

When: July 10-Oct. 30 2016

Furniture made by Monkton Quaker Stephen Foster Stevens, exhibited alongside account books, diaries, documents, photographs and other personal ephemera.

Rokeby Museum
Best known for its connection with the Underground Railroad, the Rokeby Museum preserves the history of four generations of remarkable Robinsons. Ahead of its time in every way, the family was made up of Quakers, abolitionists and artists. They were also successful farmers. Patriarch Thomas R. Robinson was among the first agriculturalists to import Merino sheep to the U.S. If he were around today, the old man might be raising something equally radical, like llamas. Two of them live across the road from the Rokeby, along with a camel.
