The Archaeology of Harriet Tubman’s Birthplace
October 30, 2024 @ 5:30 pm - 6:45 pm
In late 2020, a team of archaeologists began searching a remote part of Dorchester County for evidence of Harriet Tubman’s early life, including her birthplace and the 10-acre home site of her father, Ben Ross. In this talk, Dr. Julie Schablitsky, Chief Archaeologist for the Maryland Department of Transportation, will provide a look at the historical research and archaeological work that has gone into locating and interpreting these early Tubman sites.
This event is generously sponsored by the Upper Shore Regional Folklife Center.
