Harriet Tubman Home, Inc. Auburn, NY

Harriet Tubman National Historical Park

Join a National Park Service ranger for a walk on the property Tubman lived on for 50 years in freedom. Discover her life of radical hospitality that grew out of her deep religious convictions and passion for civil rights. Touch the bricks of her home she and her family built and see Tubman artifacts unearthed from her property. Stand on the farmland Tubman worked to provide food for those she sheltered under her roof. Listen to the stories of her philanthropic work. Step inside the Tubman Home for Aged and Infirm Negroes she created to institutionalize her life’s work of caring for those unable to care for themselves. Hear about Tubman’s second husband, her adopted daughter, and other family members whose descendants still reside in Auburn. Come experience Tubman’s chosen home in freedom! Please wear comfortable walking shoes.
