On Harriet Tubman Day and during Women's History Month, we honor the remarkable legacy of Harriet Tubman — a symbol of courage, resilience, and freedom. Born into slavery in Dorchester County, Maryland, Tubman escaped to freedom and became one of the most influential conductors on the Underground Railroad, guiding over 70 enslaved individuals to safety.
Tubman’s life was defined by bravery and a fierce commitment to justice. After securing her own freedom, she risked her life time and time again, leading others to liberation. Tubman also served as a scout, nurse, and spy for the Union Army during the Civil War — the first woman to lead an armed military operation — and later became a powerful advocate for women’s suffrage.
To truly understand Tubman’s journey and the landscapes that shaped her life, consider joining Harriet Tubman Tours for an immersive historical experience in Dorchester County, Maryland. Alex Green, an expert storyteller and historian, will guide you through key sites from Tubman’s life, including:
The Brodess Farm – Tubman’s birthplace and the site where she endured the harsh realities of slavery.
Bucktown General Store – Where Tubman’s defiance and bravery emerged as a young girl when she suffered a traumatic head injury while standing up for a fellow enslaved person.
The Underground Railroad Scenic Byway – Trace the very paths Tubman took to lead others to freedom.
Alex Green’s deep knowledge and passion for Tubman’s story make these tours an unforgettable experience. He weaves together history, culture, and the natural beauty of the Eastern Shore to provide a powerful and personal connection to Tubman's legacy.
