Built on the edge of the marshland and farm fields Harriet Tubman knew as a child and later used to guide dozens of enslaved people to freedom. The visitor center opened in 2017 as a joint NPS/Maryland State Parks site anchoring the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway.

Fills a major gap on the Eastern Shore with a nationally significant, family-friendly, story-driven landmark; precise visitor-center coordinates make it checkinable and it anchors the broader Tubman Byway driving route.
