Underground Railroad 'conductor' Harriet Tubman was born in Dorchester County probably in the 1820s. 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. 2013 marks 100 years since Harriet's passing.

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.

The museum and educational center offers a resource area for Harriet Tubman. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday. Tours of the surrounding area are available by appointment. Groups welcome.
