Harriet Tubman National Historical Park - Auburn (NY)

5 /5 Moni B.: Your very reasonable $7 adult admission (cash payments help keep their costs down) provides you with a personally guided tour by a docent with enjoyable storytelling abilities; access to the gallery walls at the Visitors Center; a visit to the house for old folks, a National Historic Landmark; and a walk of the grounds where you can view Tubmans home (currently under renovation) she shared with her second husband. Highly recommend a visit here!

5 /5 Jennifer: I loved the curator at the museum. He gave a fabulous rendition of Harriet’s life with lots of animation. It was interactive and educational. The cost was $5 very well spent. I viewed the first floor of Harriet’s home from the inside and the original barn and another house from the outside. Currently, theyre being restored. Unfortunately, you can’t take pictures inside the home but can take them outside. I would highly recommend this if youre in the area. Also, the grounds are very well maintained and pleasant.

5 /5 Henry Marks: This place is great. It’s a partner of the national park service so you won’t really see rangers here often. It helps if you call ahead for the tour. I didn’t and that worked out because I guess in February not many people want to be outside. The tour itself is the only real way to learn about Harriet Tubman unless you are really into reading plaques. On the tour you are guaranteed to to learn at least one new thing about HT. It was simply put, the best tour I’ve had in ages! Also they have a passport stamp.

5 /5 Pete Renzi: Amazing to see the house and welcome center. So much history. A must stop if you’re in the area.

5 /5 Rob Mrowka: Not much to see in the house but the guide Paul did a marvelous job of recapping the life and accomplishments of Harriet Tubman Davis! The boarding house is open but the actual Tubman house is undergoing restoration. An ongoing feud between the AME Church and the National Park Service over control and management of the site likely holds it back from reaching its full potential. The visitor center and house are only open at 10 and 2 and prior arrangements are encouraged, limiting public accessibility.
