Rokeby Museum

The Rokeby Museum, in Ferrisburgh, Vermont, will conserve two daguerreotypes that depict two of the four generations who lived at the site and were active in the Underground Railroad. The first photograph shows Thomas Richardson Robinson, a Quaker who moved to Vermont in 1792, and the second portrays his son and daughter-in-law, Rowland T. and Rachel G. Robinson, nationally active abolitionists. The conserved images will be showcased in an upcoming exhibit at the site.
