The exhibit traces their stories from slavery to freedom, introduces the abolitionist Robinson family who called Rokeby home for nearly 200 years, and explores the turbulent decades leading up to the Civil War. Once a thriving Merino sheep farm, Rokeby retains eight historic farm buildings filled with agricultural artifacts along with old wells, stone walls and fields. Acres of pastoral landscape invite a leisurely stroll or a hike up the trail. Picnic tables are available for dining outdoors.

  • The Emergence of Academies in the Eastern Townships of Lower Canada and the Invisibility of the Canada-U.S
    78 Historical Studies in Education / Revue d’histoire de l’éducation SPECIAL FEATURE II / SECTION THÉMATIQUE II Selections from the CHEA Conference / Choix d’articles émanant du congrès de l’ACHÉ 2014 The Emergence of Academies in the Eastern Townships of Lower Canada and the Invisibility of the Canada-U.S. Border Anthony Di Mascio Bishop’s University ABSTRACT By examining the emergence of academies along the borderland of the United States and the Eastern Townships of Lower Canada in the nineteenth century, this study highlights American influences and innovations that contributed to the development of schooling in the region. When American settlers arrived in the wake of the American Revolution, they began to re- establish the familiar social and cultural institutions that they had left behind in the Thirteen Colonies. Among those institutions were academies based on the New England model. Academies in the Eastern Townships emulated the culture of New England academies in four major ways: organizational structure; curriculum; the use of American books; and, reliance on American teachers. This study argues that by examining American influences on education, we may better situate the history of Quebec education in its continental context, and may better understand the trends that have shaped the common experience of schooling on both sides of the border. RÉSUMÉ L’étude de l’émergence des « académies » au début du XIXe siècle dans la région frontalière entre les États-Unis et les Cantons de l’Est du Bas-Canada met en lumière les influences et les innovations américaines qui contribuèrent au développement de l’éducation dans cette région.

    Pro Picks: Vermont’s 12 Best Gravel Rides Vermont Sports, August 7, 2020 Sophie Hiland 3953 Views 1 Comment #DIYGravel, cycling, gravel, gravel grinder, Gravel Rides, Gravel Riding, gravel touring, Vermont's best gravel rides With swimming holes to stop at, blueberries to pick, and bakeries and brewpubs to sample, these backyard loops—as picked by gravel pros— are the best ways to see Vermont. Sure, you might think you know Vermont’s gravel. Perhaps you’ve ridden some of the better-known organized rides. But how much have you really explored the state? We asked gravel cycling experts around the Green Mountains, south to north, to share their favorite recreational (read: accessible) gravel rides in 20- to 40-mile loops. The result are some stunning rides where you can camp out on the shores of Lake Champlain, pick blueberries, plunge into a river from a rope swing, cast a fly-rod, ride a rail trail, swim in the lake where Jacques Cousteau did his first dives, visit Robert Frost’s grave and treat yourself to sweeping views of the rural Vermont that pavement seems to have missed. Download the map links, pack your saddlebag and plan your staycation. 1. BENNINGTON: HOLSTEINS, HISTORY AND ROBERT FROST — by Joe Cruz Joe Cruz has bikepacked in Tibet, Peru and Pakistan, among other places.
