About Us:
Underground Railroad ‘conductor’ Harriet Tubman was born in Dorchester County around 1822. At this small museum in downtown Cambridge — just a few miles from where she grew up — learn of the strength, courage, and determination of this remarkable woman.
The Harriet Tubman Museum & Education Center was started in the 1980s—and is still run by— dedicated local volunteers who want to share Harriet Tubman’s story and preserve her legacy.The Harriet Tubman Museum offers exhibits and a short film about Tubman’s life, as well as a resource area. Groups are welcome. The museum can also organize tours of the area where Tubman lived and toiled. There is no admission fee but donations are welcome.
After growing up on the Brodess Farm in Bucktown in Dorchester County, Tubman later escaped from slavery and returned 13 times to lead other enslaved people to freedom using the secret network of people and sites known as the Underground Railroad. She later served as a Civil War spy and nurse, a suffragist, and a humanitarian.
