One of the most well-known and inspiring women in history, Harriet Tubman, worked for monumental change right here in South Jersey – Cape May to be exact – where she organized and facilitated stretches of the Underground Railroad and spoke out as an abolitionist. You can learn about her history, the lives of Black people in Cape May and other aspects of the abolitionist movement at the Harriet Tubman Museum. For more information and hours, visit the website.
