Description
On February 10, from 2 to 3 p.m., children ages 7 to 12 will be given the opportunity to become “History Detectives” as they meet Simon, Jesse, Jeremiah Snowden, and others — all fugitives from slavery who were sheltered at Rokeby. Children will examine the evidence — letters from the Museum collection — to discover what these people felt, what was important to them, and what they did to make their lives better.
