The house, owned by Ben Ross, was discovered amid a search that began in November 2020. Maryland s Department of Transportation archaeology team began the project after a 2,600-acre property was acquired in 2020 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Maryland, Lt. Governor Boyd K. Rutherford was joined by archeologists, historians and government officials Tuesday to announce the finding.
“This discovery adds another puzzle piece to the story of Harriet Tubman, the state of Maryland, and our nation,” said Rutherford. “It is important that we continue to uncover parts of our history that we can learn from, especially when they can be lost to time, and other forces. I hope that this latest success story can inspire similar efforts and help strengthen our partnerships in the future.”
