Place Visited: Church Creek, Maryland, USA
Date: December 2018
My tour guide at the Stanley Institute in nearby Cambridge strongly urged me to make a side trip to the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center and boy am I glad I followed his advice. Tubman was a badass. I'd known a little of her story but had had no idea just how many people she saved. It's also a sober reminder of how Maryland, now generally thought of as part of the North, was unquestionably a slave state. Definitely worth the detour.
