Join in the book launch and signing for A Guide to Harriet Tubman’s Eastern Shore at the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center (Stop #13 on the Tubman Byway) on Oct. 23 from 2 to 4pm. Created by Phillip Hesser and Charlie Ewers, this new book explores Tubman’s time here on Maryland’s Eastern Shore through narrative, old and modern-day photos, and testimonials from people with connections to Tubman’s native land. (Tubman was born here and lived here through her mid-20s.)
The authors will talk about their search through landscapes and memory for Tubman’s home in Dorchester County and how it testifies to our own search for home in the changing lands and common ground in the turbulent world of the 21st century. The book will be available for purchase in the visitor center’s park store.
The Tubman Visitor Center is located at 4068 Golden Hill Rd, Church Creek, MD 21622.
