Harriet Tubman Home, Auburn

Amazing site! The building itself is just an artifact of the past. However, the 2pm tour by the park rangers was wonderful! The history and context that they provided was enlightening and I learned a good deal about the "Female Moses" that I was unaware of before. This site and tour are a must have experience for anyone who is interested in American history. Highly recommend!

I truly enjoyed the visit to this historical site. The tour guide shared many interesting facts about Mother Harriet’s life and had us captivated as well as laughing at some of the stories. The life of Harriet Tubman was astounding and inspiring; but also a grave reminder of the history that plagues this nation. We were not able to enter one of the buildings as it is being repaired. A second building we were able to partially enter. The visitor center contained a timeline of her life and other information related to the abolitionist movement and the civil war. Even though we couldn’t enter all of the buildings, it was well worth the visit. And I can’t wait to return after some of the repairs take place.
