Went to see The Journey to Freedom sculpture. I was amazed at the amount of detail the artist captured. It was definitely worth the drive. Im happy I caught it before it left Maryland.

The museum is an amazing tribute to the legendary Harriet Tubman, and the mural is breathtaking. It was most definitely worth the drive to Cambridge.

Amazing mural. It is a little tucked away though with not a whole lot of signs pointing in the right direction. Definately worth a visit with some directions.

Extremely disappointing. We drove over an hour and it wasnt open after the website said it was. I hope it is updated to reflect true hours and tour times...

In the spirit of Harriet Tubman, this little town store is full of memorabilia from the era, videos about her and book to peruse for more information. This is staffed by volunteers. A very generous gesture to keep alive an important part of our nations history. Call for the hours. Today they close at 3:00.

This is a tiny storefront in Cambridge filled with all sorts of odds and ends. I wouldnt give it three stars except that if youre interested in Harriet Tubman youll be in Cambridge anyway, so if you miss it dont worry too much. Its much more important that you get to the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center, which is the new museum in nearby Church Creek. I get the impression that the people here at the Organization did a lot of lobbying to get that museum built, but now there isnt a lot for the Organization to do and show.

The mural is worth the trip without even hoing in. Absolutely a stunning work of art. Small but worth going if interested in history.

We had great day learning facts about Ms Tubman and the fight for freedom that she championed for! She was a great woman of God and courageous leader. So proud of my heritage.

There are some interesting details that I didnt remember when I was taught about this heroic woman in school...Its downtown and there are plug-in parking spots for hybrids and Teslas within walking distance...a NICE surprise!!We were there in the middle of the week so traffic was minimal...I cant vouch for any other time of the week...Worth a visit if youre in the area!!

An amazing amount of information about Harriet Tubman and her legacy. Helpful staff who were very generous with their knowledge about Black History.

Great experience! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Came as a follow-up to visiting the Harriet Tubman Educational Center at the Eastern Shore. Small location, here, but plenty of artifacts and history to go around. They show a film on PBS about her life and the famous mural is just outside the back door, around the corner to the right! Check it out!

Gorgeous work from a local artist. Located on the side of the Harriet Tubman museum, I would highly recommend visiting both the museum and the mural to keep her legacy alive.

Everyone should check out the Harriet Tubman Museum in Cambridge. Reading about or studying Tubman and the Underground Railroad is one thing, this center is another level of understanding. Combine it with the state center and the Tubman Trail in Dorchester County and history comes alive.

Came here five years ago when we came to the Hyatt Regency for our Anniversary. I was enamored then and her story is as captivating as ever and has received greater publ8c iattention since the movie about her life. Love the new mural and the continuously running PBS stories abour William Still amd others.

There is so much more about Harriet Tubman than what is taught in school. This facility depicts many aspects of her life.

This tiny, hidden museum is truly a gem! I took 5 kids (ages 5-12) and my 70-yr-old parents, and every single one of us was overcome with the power of this place. First, walk around the corner and take in the new mural. Its incredibly moving, and it set the tone for what we were about to soak in, inside. Just the life of Harriet Tubman wouldve been enough to amaze, but they have so much more. I dont know how they packed it all in that space! Definitely worth the trip!!!

Drove 2.5 hours to get here only to find that the Museum is not open....even though the website says its hours are 12-3 pm. Very disappointed. Can you post something on the site to address the fact that you are complete closed during the pandemic.

The museum is small but I am impressed that there is a place that honors Harriet Tubman. With the racially intrepid attitudes that are prevalent today; this tribute museum “keeps hope alive”.

I took my 2 biracial granddaughters to educate them Harriet Tubman. They are 6 and 9. Good readers. There was nothing interactive. The movie was only black impressive figures talking Bout Harriet Tubmans impact on history.The kids got very little from th ed museum(sadly) since there was so much READING.I am a teacher and we had the museum to ourselves since we got there early, but all they wanted to do was touch things and see a REAL MOVIE!

The mural is in a small alley, but there are more murals on other buildings. The museum is closed on Wednesday. The Harriet Tubman Underground is 10 minutes away well worth the visit.

I LOVED the mural, but it was really hard to find. I feel for such a prominent hometown figure, a more accessible view should have been offered, but at least its a start.

Review №54

This museum is very well done. The art, the bronzes, the stories are excellent! The only disappointing thing was the video/ movie that had an actress that was excellent in her portrayal of Harriet but the sound was so horrible that you couldnt understand most of it. So sorry about that...... but the rest of the museum was great!

I drove my family over an hour and a half to see this museum and we loved it! A wealth of information and objects from the time that the man working there was more than happy to walk us through most of it. What an amazing place! Im so happy I took my kids and I plan to return. They were even able to show me her wanted poster.Nice, friendly people and close easy parking.

This is a very nice small town museum dedicated to an incredible woman. A lot of information and photographs. Harriet Tubman needs to be promoted so that she is more widely recognized for her historically significant contributions to the American story. The 20 minute video was infirmative.

This place downtown Cambridge its a good place to get historical facts about the area by the people whos families area descendants of the county has been running since 90s I heard great respectable people of Cambridge md opened an had it heard A lot about Dr.Mckelvey lady who past May she rest in peace she did play about Harriet Tubman plenty of history from descendants of dorchester county here then you have other place. Down Blackwater dont think no one from Dorchester county work there thats state operated. But we appreciate the thought even tho they still monopolizing from slavery an doing nothing for community

What a charming heart centric organization celebrating the life and legacy of Harriet Tubman! The video they show is excellent as it gives you the full picture of her 90 odd years of life...not just her legacy with the URR but her work in the civil war which I knew not. Staff here really exemplify their committment to her legacy. While this site is small and has a more old school vibe, it is intimate compared to the new modern facility just 15 minutes away...the latter visually fantastic and worth seeing for different reasons.
