MDOT News Harriet Tubman's father house excavation site
Archaeologists believe they've found the site of the home once owned by Ben Ross, the father of abolitionist and Underground Railroad conductor Harriet Tubman.
The remains of the homesite were discovered in Dorchester County, Maryland, on a property that was acquired last year by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Lead archaeologist Julie Schablitsky and her team began searching for evidence linked to Ross on that property in November, according to a news release. This spring, they were able to find artifacts that dated back to the 1800s, including nails, bricks, dish fragments and a button.
