Harriet Tubman National Historical Park

She arrived in Auburn in 1859, purchasing land from Frances Adeline Seward — wife of abolitionist Senator William H. Seward — and stayed until her death in 1913. The Harriet Tubman National Historical Park, established January 10, 2017, encompasses her residence, the Home for the Aged she founded and eventually entered herself, and the Thompson A.M.E. Zion Church that was her religious community. She donated the Home for the Aged to that church in 1903 so it would endure after her. It did.
