Harriet Tubman Museum and Educational Center

Nice spot with great tributes to Harriet Tubman on the neighboring streets and throughout downtown. The museum had hours posted until 4pm but closed early so couldn't speak to the quality of the items inside. Consider this an incomplete review.

I was pleasantly surprised! The Google photo makes the center looks small but it has three sections inside. There is a lot of great information and authentic artifacts that taught me much more than I knew before. The trek that Harriet took from Maryland to Canada is amazing, and her life story before and after the underground railroad is interesting. Did you know her real name is not Harriet?

Wonderful part of history. Week worth the stop and half of a day visit. Great knowledgeable staff

William explained so much rich history with our group. We had a special reservation for our group. I’m glad I was able to be here to experience the lesson.

This is a fascinating historic museum in Maritime Cambridge's downtown district. They are closed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday -- although the attendant opened the door when we knocked and let us in anyway. The museum is in a converted row house. It is jam-packed full of interesting artifacts, historical signs, and artwork. The museum covers very thoroughly the life of Harriet Tubman, the legendary conductor on the underground railroad. It is a museum essentially about slavery in America. Much of the material is difficult to face, but it is important to understand. It is very well done and definitely worth a visit -- with your family or solo.

It’s a small quaint museum with tons of information. Sit and watch some videos. Ask questions. The murals in the back room are of the Bucktown store where Harriet was injured in the head, which affected the rest of her life. There are entertaining lectures with songs by the director and her husband. She also provides walking tours with loads of history and song. They also host a monthly jazz concert.

[NOTE: Some reviews of this place are for the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park, which is much better]

You'll find the basic info about Harriet Tubman and the UGRR, some art, and random artifacts. There is a video you can watch and a pretty cool back room where (I assume) events and such occur. It felt like more could be done with this space.
