Archeologists discover site that was once home of Harriet Tubman s father

Archaeologists discover site that was once home of Harriet Tubman s father By Caitlin O Kane Harriet Tubman s road to freedom Last year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service bought 2,600 acres in Maryland for $6 million. The land was purchased to help mitigate future sea-level rise but it turned out to have affected history. Archaeologists have determined part of the site was the home of Harriet Tubman s father, Ben Ross. The abolitionist and famed Underground Railroad conductor was born Araminta Ross in March 1822 on the Thompson Farm. The abolitionist who rescued enslaved people via the Underground Railroad also led U.S. troops in a raid that freed hundreds during the Civil War.

Archaeologists say Harriet Tubman s home discovered in Maryland

© Courtesy of Smithsonian Maryland state officials said in a news release Monday that archaeologists working on land owned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service believe they have discovered the home where abolitionist legend Harriet Tubman lived as a young girl. A news release from the State Highway Administration stated that the home, owned by Tubman s father, Ben Ross, is where she lived before beginning her quest to free dozens of slaves from captivity in the South. “This discovery adds another puzzle piece to the story of Harriet Tubman, the state of Maryland, and our nation,” said Maryland Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford (R) in the news release.
