About The Harriet Tubman Museum & Education Center

Harriet Tubman, a heroic leader in the fight against slavery, was born around 1822, in Dorchester County Maryland. At the museum in downtown Cambridge, located just a few miles from where she grew up, visitors can learn about the strength, courage, and determination of this remarkable woman.

The Harriet Tubman Museum & Education Center was established in the 1980s to share Harriet Tubman’s story and preserve her legacy. The museum building features a powerful and moving mural of Harriet Tubman that has drawn national attention. The mural was commissioned by the Dorchester Center for the Arts and completed in May 2019 by artist Michael Rosato.
