Harriet Tubman house visited by Jurascals in July

At the end of July within the comic strip story, Aunt Z took Lina to visit the Harriet Tubman house in Auburn, NY .  I was inspired because I had the extreme pleasure of visiting the Tubman home in April of this year and I encourage all who can get there to do so as well.

Clearly this location should be a national park and it is baffling to me that it is not already. This is a home of national historical signficance that deserves an honored place in the park service that befits the extraordinary legacy of Harriet Tubman's courage and faith.

One of the key elements of a national park is to preserve and to teach. I learned many things I did not already know about Harriet Tubman and her life in Auburn while going to the site and taking the tour.

The official site for the harriet Tubman home is:

Harriet Tubman lived in Auburn and eventually founded the home for the aged at this location. In two years (2013) the Founders Day celebration in Auburn will celebrate Harriet Tubman for the 100th anniversary since she passed away.  However we do not have to wait unitl then to recognize the historical significance of the Tubman home. We can visit again.
