Archaeologists say Harriet Tubman's home discovered in Maryland


Maryland state officials said in a news release Monday that archaeologists working on land owned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service believe they have discovered the home where abolitionist legend Harriet Tubman lived as a young girl.

A news release from the State Highway Administration (SHA) stated that the home, owned by Tubman's father, Ben Ross, is where she lived before beginning her quest to free dozens of slaves from captivity in the South.

“This discovery adds another puzzle piece to the story of Harriet Tubman, the state of Maryland, and our nation,” said Maryland Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford (R) in the news release.


“It is important that we continue to uncover parts of our history that we can learn from, especially when they can be lost to time, and other forces. I hope that this latest success story can inspire similar efforts and help strengthen our partnerships in the future," he said.
