New Virtual Museum Explores Harriet Tubman’s Early Life
Archaeologists with the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced the discovery of significant artifacts at the site of Ben Ross’ home, where Harriet Tubman’s father lived and where the renowned abolitionist spent her teenage years.
Harriet Tubman died 112 years ago today. Her legacy endures in a virtual museum.
An Underground Railroad conductor himself, Ben Ross relied on his daughter for his own family’s escape. Tubman escaped in 1849; in 1857, she led Ross and her still-enslaved mother, Rit, to Canada. They later settled in New York state, near their daughter.
