Ground was broken Saturday, March 9th for the new Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park Visitor Center.
The new visitor center will feature a series of exhibit galleries and a 50-seat film experience area intended to immerse visitors in the story of Tubman's life, taking them on a journey from her childhood through to her efforts associated with the Underground Railroad resistance movement. The building will be LEED Silver Certified and the design features a green roof, recycled materials, energy efficient lighting and water conservation techniques. An outdoor memorial garden, interpretive trails and a picnic pavilion are also planned for the 17-acre site.
