We only got to see just outside of the gate to the home since it’s currently closed due to Covid 19. It was still magnificent to see and such an honor to walk on the same grounds she once did. Thank you Ms. Tubman for your sacrifices and bravery.

It was interesting & I felt connected with her each & every step. Jessica Bowes is amazing tour guide & she did not disappoint me one bit. Shes very informative & full of life. I was a bit leery at first but then that feeling went away quickly. However my tour wasnt long enough for me today but it is a trip I plan on making again real soonThank you for everything

This is an interesting museum with lots of information on not only Harriet Tubman but also the underground railroad. The docents were great, we really enjoyed their presentation. Other than the visitors center, the only other building that can be visited is the Home for the Aged. Tubmans brick house is being worked on and will be open sometime in the future. If this review was helpful, please give it a like.

Absolutely amazing the best part is that i visit on a day her granddaughter was there. It was fascinating and such an honor to speak with her.

Learned so much great history aboit Harriet Tubman.

Incredible experience all round. Paul gave us the most entertaining and informative lecture and being able to step inside the Harriet Tubman Home For The Aged was absolutely incredible! I will definitely be back when Harriets home has been restored. 10/10!

A rich experience which unfolds the worst and the best of human interaction and potentiality. Once we know better, we can continue to do better. And So It Is.

Awesome, historical, and an amazing learning experience. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and courteous!

Its worth a visit, actually multiple visits. If you can, go in time for a tour because the tour guide is AMAZING. We walked away knowing so much more than we knew and it was eye opening!

Tells the whole story of Harriet Tubman, based on facts. The site is working to restore her house, so you can only see the outside today. I really liked the exhibit which matched up dates in Tubmans life with events in US history. She was a remarkable woman in a time of tremendous changes in the nation. Highly recommend planning to have Paul as your tour guide.

Abolitionist Hero... free the mental slavery next .. we need a new Underground Railroad

An amazing experience! Learning her heritage, her life, her triumphs. The guide is very knowledgeable and very entertaining. Although the story and scene wont change much I plan on returning multiple times for the experience and to show support for an AMERICAN hero!

Fantastic historical venue! Paul is an excellent your guide and I absolutely, positively recommend going out of your way for his tour if you get the chance.

My family and I loved the tour. It was very informative and the gentleman leading the tour was very knowledgeable and had a great personality. There were some artifacts on display as well. This is a must see!

Sad to see this place is understaffed for the amount of visitation they are getting. Tour guide did a wonderful job and told a great story!

Too bad it was closed due to COVID19

Great tour. So interesting!

She was an extraordinary person who embraced her faith and had an amazing life of service! She is an example to all of us of how a person of faith navigates the rough terrain of living life enslaved and battling for freedom for herself and others.

Paul was excellent in presenting H. Tubmans life. He made the subject vibrant. The display is really good. Well worth it!

While it is always interesting to stand on the same land that historical figures stood, there is not a lot to see. Mostly an exhibit where you can read about her. If you are traveling a distance, I recommend seeing the Seward house on the same day.

Although closed, theres nothing I can express to detail the sense of pride I felt visiting this location. When it re-opens, I will return to get the full experience. RIP Ms. Tubman...

Must visit when there is a tour just for the interpretation. The interpreters do a great job in telling the life of Harriet Tubman. The visitor center is small and the brick house on the property is still undergoing restoration, but it is a great site to learn about Harriet’s life and impact in history.

Not the most exciting national park historic destination. Not a ton to see and tours end early.The folks who work in the main visitor center are very friendly and theres photos and stories you can read about Harriet and the underground railroad here.A quick visit kind of place.

This was Awesome to visit. Very imformative tour and knowledgeable staff. The kids and I enjoyed this! We will come back

Short tour but lots of history. Guides were awesome.

The guide is awesome. Full of information about Harriet Tubman Davis i didnt know from history books.

It was eye opening. Especially because there were somethings I didnt know about her.

Harriet Tubman was an exceptional leader in the Underground Railroad. You can visit her home on her own land. You can learn more about her life and her activism when you visit here. The tour leader did a great job relating Harriet Tubmans life story.

So there are two buildings on this site that would qualify as Harriet Tubmans home. The brick building is where she lived for many years. In the latter part of her life, she moved to the other building, a bigger one with a white facade that she herself set up to be a home for the elderly. The brick building is being renovated but you can peer through to see whats inside. The home for the elderly is open, but can only be visited as part of a guided tour.You can book the tour, which they offer several times a day, from the Visitors Center at the back of the property. Call ahead for their tour schedule so you dont miss one or wait too long.Dont miss the opportunity to visit if youre in town. I wont give too much away, but we left with the most profound admiration and respect for Harriet Tubman for the extraordinary life she lived.

Great, loving staff, very educational...

Very interesting personality and American hero. The National Park docent gave a very lively and interesting talk about her life and times. We had an RV and there is no designated RV parking so we squeezed in but left as soon as we could to not take up a lot of spaces. Worth a stop and even a diversion if in the area.

Thorough visitors center. Guide, Paul, has been there for 27 years and very knowledgeable. The white building is not her home, it is there building she building for an elderly home, her home is right across from the white House and is currently being renovated.

What a great little tour. I loved the story and the guide, he was really into his character. The houses were beautiful, they told a great story. You could picture it all. Never knew Harriet Tubman did so much. She was an amazing woman. Also the property was wonderfully kept.

Harriet Tubman did so much, she definitely deserves to be memorialized by the nation. The tour was very insightful and entertaining. I cant wait to see what the Harriet Tubman Home will be like once they finish refurbishing her house and display all of the items found on the grounds.

Very educational and emotionally moving. The tour guide was exceptionally engaging and informative. My daughter gave it two thumbs way way up!

It was a awesome experience, one of the best I have had.

Interesting history and a beautiful area. A must see

Never give up on peace and love!! RESIST EVIL, RESIST HATE!!️️

Awesome..The gentelman that does the presentation is totally awesome .I learned more in about 30 mins than I knew about Mrs Tubman my whole life

Its always great to see a historical place of history and to learn more about the person and the role they had in shaping the future of our country

Real history! Her story touches the heart...enflames the need for social justice!

Amazing! You will want to double check when the tours leave because they are not super clear on the website. The tour is an 1 1/2 but so amazing! One of the best guided tours of a home Ive ever been on. The guide is so well informed and obviously dedicated to preserving Tubmans legacy. They are in the process of teaming up with the national parks service so the museum should be getting bigger and the tours more regular, I just hope that they dont loose the incredible personality that is there now.

Magical place and the tour guide is very enthusiastic

Visited and thoroughly enjoyed the numerous facts that I did not know.

Had a great time with my mom. Lots of great historical information.

House being restored, not open. Displays in visitor center well done

Our tour guide was an incredibly engaging and vivid story teller. I would love if all tour guides could pull you into history the way he did. The brick house was under renovation during our visit so unfortunately we couldnt see that. And photos are prohibited inside the Home for the Elderly. Im not sure the reason, but a nice side effect is it keeps you off your phone and in the experience. The rates are incredibly affordable and you can even get a discount if youre a student, military, senior, etc. I would highly recommend a visit!

Wonderful presentation given by an incredible guide!

Although it was short, it was extremely informative. Learned so much more abt her and her contributions to our history & heritage. Good for all ages.

A fascinating place. Happily saved and lovingly maintained. Not to be missed.

I love to visit here and have been doing so since a young kid when my grandfather first brought me. A hero to this country and an honored citizen of Auburn, her house and museum are great ways to learn of the history of slavery, the Underground Railroad and the heroism of Harriet Tubman and others who worked to free slaves and end the horrific institution of slavery. Its an honor to live and grow up to where a hero like her lived and was laid to rest.

Great explanation and story of Harriets life.

Paul gave a magnificent presentation about Ms. Tubmans life.

Very informative. Lively and perspicacious guide.

Wonderful presentation! A wonderful woman among women.

A great learning experience!

Rangers n museum were wonderful.

The tour guide is awesome, folks! Lots to learn here.

It was a nice experience and you learn so much about her! The Campus is going to be renovated soon to have a better place to show her belongings. The tour guide knows a lot and does a really interesting tour, but through the tour he lets us know his political views and for me that was out of place. A plus, the entrance was free during the time we went (although they accept donations).

Informative and fascinating to learn about Tubmans life and step foot in the last house she lived in, imagining how she fit all the people she took care of in there. The visitor center has images, timelines, artifacts and restrooms.

Great job chronicling an amazing woman, the times she lived in, and this historic property.

Great history, go visit, learn, support and share

I love to learn about history and enjoyed the tour and presentation at this site.

I was the first visitor to arrive at 10am, as I was staying locally and thought I would pay a visit before leaving the area, having seen the good reviews I had read online. I assumed that the tour would be cancelled as it was just me there... Not so! Paul was happy to give the presentation just to me - and what a showman! This is a well presented museum, on an interesting subject (which I knew little about previously), run by passionate and well informed people, and is well worth an hour or so of anyones time, if in the vicinity of Auburn.

It is a wonderful place to hear about black history. They barely touch on her in schools.

What a wonderful visit and tour thanks to our very informative guide. We are glad we took the time to visit!! Thank you for sharing the informative session.

What a wonderful place! Our family learned so much and our tour guide was outstanding. They made accommodations for my friend that could not walk much. My daughters were so excited to become jr rangers!

Paul was absolutely amazing! I learned more about Harriet in two hours there then I ever have in any classroom! This was a very special visit!! thank you!!!!

Very informative, and the presentation was excellent.

This is a fantastic place. We missed a little bit of the first part of the tour but we were able to join, and they stayed open a little later so everyone had a chance to see everything. Her main home is currently being renovated and is not viewable. We look forward to going back to see the first home as well.

Thank you for the wonderful history and presentation.

Awesome experience! Guide was very enthusiastic and informative.

The tour was especially entertaining and informative. This is such an important place with inspiring history on one of the most important women in history! The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable, too. Highly recommend a visit here!

The National Park Service ruined this historical site! The Ranger from the Park Services immediately began and continued negative rants towards the AME Church for their care towards Harriet Tubman and the site. The Ranger guide had no knowledge of Harriet Tubman other than facts found on Google. I drove 7 hours to this site and left with no understanding of who Harriet Tubman really was. I loved the visitors center layout and pictures of Harriet Tubman though. There are very rare images within.

Love, love, loved it. A great history lesson on Harriets behalf. GREAT FOR KIDS!

Great museum. You’ll learn a lot, and the staff is amazing

Wonderful museum and a must see for NY history. What an amazing woman! The tour guide is very informative and very entertaining.

Hopefully, money will be found to fix up Harriets brick house, in good shape but needing TLC. A good team gives an engaging orientation to this hero of the Underground Railroad. I feel shes been transformed in my mind from a historical character to a real person with struggles, marriages, setbacks and triumphs. I like tgis Harriet I got to know.

History is amazing and necessary

The docents make the history of the enslaved come alive.

The staff was informative and pleasant

Couldnt see the adjoining house due to renovations, but the staff did an amazing job with the tour. They do not allow photos of the inside of the house and were not allowed upstairs. There is nothing interactive for kids and not enough things to see, but the feeling after the history lesson was moving.

Amazing to see and hear about things they dont teach you in school.

I enjoyed the tour. Hopefully the National Park Service will be able to restore the actual home soon. The museum and tour are superb.

A great historic landmark. We visited the day of a music festival dedicated to Ms Tubman.

Amazing historical storytelling before a tour of Harriet Tubmans house! So glad this is now a National Historical Park! Excellent reminder of history of the US.

An amazing historical place but needs a little more TLC. There were too many mosquitoes during the walking tour that didnt let me focus on what the tour guide was narrating.

Amazing history. A must see

Clean and decorated. Tour guide did a nice job answering questions. No pictures were allowed to be taken inside.

Glad to see this place is finally getting the attention it deserves. It will become a National Historical Park soon. Its a small site but worthy of the amazing history of Harriet Tubman.

Wonderful museum about an amazing woman. Truly inspiring all she did to help others.

The presenter was excellent!

Excellent tour and guide

Director gave a TON of information about Harriet. My kids enjoyed looking around and visiting her house.

A must experience for all Americans who think things are are impossible. Moses Moses Moses !

Love!! Plan to visit in a year or two and hopefully all the updates will be complete.

Just beautiful

A great performance by the staff to help bring to light the life of Harriet Tubman.

Awesome talk about Harriet Tubmans, laughed alot. Cant wait for the brick house to open!

Our tour guide, Paul, was an extremely knowledgeable and animated storyteller. He brought Harriet Tubmans story to life . Of all the things we saw and did while visiting the Finger Lakes, this was the most memorable!
