Foster Grandparent Program visited the Harriet Tubman National Historical Park

Aug 20, 2024 | News and Information

The foster grandparents toured the historic site, including Tubman’s residence and the Harriet Tubman Home for the Aged, established to care for elderly freed persons.

We learned that Harriet was guided by deep faith and devotion to family, freedom, and community.

As a conductor on the Underground Railroad, she moved herself and her family members from slavery to Auburn, where she continued to fight for human rights, abolition, and women’s suffrage during her 50 years in Central New York.
