Harriet Ross Tubman (1822-1913)
Internationally-known former slave and freedom fighter who
led many slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad.
The Harriet Tubman Historic Marker is located at
the former site of the Brodess Farm in Bucktown, Maryland
which is the childhood home of Harriet Tubman. Established
by the Civil War Centennial Commission.
Bazzel United Methodist Church is located in Bucktown,
Maryland. Although the church was officially organized in
1876, the local community has met and worshipped here since
the old days of slavery.
Long Wharf was an important port in the 19th century
where people, goods, and information traveled by boat. By
following the Choptank River to its head, runaway slaves came
within a day’s travel to the Underground Railroad stations
in Delaware.
Stanley Institute (Rock School) was founded in 1865.
It was the first community-owned school in Dorchester County,
and it was one of the state’s first Black schools. Recognized
by the National Register of Historic Places.
Harriet Tubman Memorial Gardens is a memorial honoring
Harriet Tubman and some of the runaway slaves she helped lead
to freedom. Located along Route 50 in Cambridge, Maryland.
Waugh United Methodist Church is a historic site that
is known as one of the oldest Black congregations on the Eastern
Shore. Founded in 1826.
Bethel A.M.E. Church was originally built in 1870.
In 1879, Rev. Grenage and some of his members replaced the
wooden structure with a brick structure. Through the years,
Bethel A.M.E. Church has been very instrumental in the struggle
for justice and equality in Cambridge, Maryland.
