Author Don Papson will be at Rokeby Museum to help us open for the 2015 season. Join us and discover the network of "secret lives" explored in his new book, Secret Lives of the Underground Railroad. Abolitionist newspaper editor Sydney Howard Gay and black New Yorker Louis Napoleon formed an interracial team to aid fugitive slaves during the 1850s. Gay kept a record of their work from 1855 to 1856, and this amazing document is published here for the first time. Papson and his coauthor Tom Calarco bring these two men to life as they recount their activities over many years. Books will be available for sale and signing.
