2. Harriet Tubman Home – Auburn, NY

Located in Auburn, New York, is a small house that was once the home of Harriet Tubman, a political activist who was born into slavery around 1822, and spent her entire adult life rescuing slaves using a network of friends and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. She worked as a Union Army cook and nurse during the Civil War, and even led a raid on Combahee Ferry which was able to liberate more than 700 people. While she was alive, she was considered one of the most resourceful people in the fight against slavery and was given the nickname ‘Moses’ for her courage. After her death, the mythology surrounding her legacy began to grow, and her home was purchased by the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, and turned into a monument. If you’d like to visit, entry is free, and there are three free tours daily.
