The high-priority projects will make buildings safer and more accessible by adding handrails and replacing deteriorated porches. Additional work includes structural repairs for the grainery, and\u00a0removal and replacement of 1815 plaster on some of the buildings\u2019 interior walls.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Rokeby Museum is\u00a0among the best-documented Underground Railroad sites in the country, and one the National Park Service has described as unrivaled among known sites for its historical integrity.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cOver the years, staff and volunteers have dedicated their time and energy towards preserving and sharing the history of this nationally significant site,\u201d said Lindsay Houpt-Varner, Director of Rokeby Museum.\u00a0\u201cLike any historic house, the Robinson family home requires regular preservation maintenance.

Our partnership with Rokeby Museum is about much more than simply giving back to the community. It\u2019s about preserving an incredibly important and historic homesite and an integral part of the Underground Railroad<em>.<\/em>\u00a0It also ensures that future generations can continue to visit the Rokeby Museum to learn about racism, social justice issues and Vermont\u2019s role in the Abolitionist movement. We view this work as critical, particularly now with the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion movement taking place across the country, and right here at PC.
