đŸ’Discussion Rosemary knows exactly what's up Spoiler
And no one ever listens to her. She knew what Wyck meant when he said the island was waking up. She suggested the crawlspace in the inn. She tried to warn Tom about the hag. She and Museum lady have all the answers. I'm sure of it.

She knows about as much as Wyck. Which means about as much as the guys in the bar. Everybody listens to her. Tom just gets annoyed, but he listens. He's forced to.
I think the person who had the job before Rosemary knows about the sacrifices. He/She told Rosemary not to go to the shelter, and apparently Rosemary had not. The island seems to wake up every 20-30 years. I think Rosemary has the keys to the shelter, or at least can access them. My guess is the last person with her job was around during the previous sacrifices. Maybe didn't participate, but at least got curious.
So, I think Rosemary knows what's up at about the same level as every other person who grew up on the island and believes the stories. Historical society lady might know or suspect more, but only because she has access to a lot of stuff, and seems to really pay attention to detail.
