This small museum in downtown Cambridge is a good introduction to Tubman's life if you don't have time to drive to the much larger Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historic Park & Visitor Center south of town. Tubman was a 'conductor' on the Underground Railroad, leading slaves to freedom in the 1800s.
