Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway

Abolitionists Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass were born slaves on Maryland’s rural Eastern Shore. This roughly 125-mile route begins in Cambridge and visits the one-year-old Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center. Celebrate Douglass’s bicentennial by adding on Talbot County’s Frederick Douglass driving tour (take MD-331 from Choptank).
