Archaeology at Harriet Tubman’s Birthsite
February 12 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
In 2020, archaeologists began searching the Eastern Shore wetlands for the home of Ben Ross, Harriet Tubman’s father. Their work uncovered the remains of Ross’ homeplace and a second dwelling used by enslaved people. Drawing on documentary evidence and hundreds of artifacts, Dr. Schablitsky is reconstructing the lives of those who lived and labored there—offering new insight into how Tubman, her family, and her community endured and ultimately escaped slavery.
This lecture will take place at the Annapolis Maritime Museum.
