Harriet Tubman's lost Maryland home found, archaeologists say

[beveeheart]

17. My grandson had to write a report on Harriet Tubman

when he was in elementary school in the mid-'90s. We lived in Virginia at the time, but he knew that I had grown up about 60 miles from where she lived. So we went back to the Eastern Shore of Maryland to see what we could find out about her. We didn't find much, but a local black man told us about a small sign alongside a country road in an area where she probably worked and lived.
If my grandson had to research Harriet Tubman today, there is the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Monument and National Historical Park to visit. I was there 2 years ago and I highly recommend it if you are ever in Dorchester County, MD.

One more thing, as I said earlier, I grew up on the Eastern Shore and never saw anything about Harriet Tubman or Frederick Douglas (born in nearby Talbot County) in any of our history books back then (1950s).
