harriet tubman was taking care of her brother moses. a young tubman had to take care of her little brothers while her mother worked in the big house and tubman had fond memories of this and i can't imagine the worry of a mother knowing that her baby was taking care of another baby. the baby was worried so she cut a slab of pork and she warmed it in the coals of the fire and put it in the baby's mouth and the baby stopped crying and she thought, that it was indeed just the piece of pork and i think that's a funny story because if you put a piece of bacon in my mouth i'll stop talking, too. this next section here talks about tubman's early life and the quote says every time i saw a white man i was afraid of being carried away. i had two sisters carry ied awa in a chain gang. they were sold away to a chain gang and never seen again. and this tactile panel again shows the young tubman and her little brother and then this is a nice map of this area that we're in right now that shows dorchester county. you probably came through cambridge when

you walk into our visitors center and again you head north just like harriet tubman did. and this area here opens up to our legacy garden and it highlights the view north. during tubman's time it represented openness and the south was enclosed and encumbered. in the next phase of the park we'll have a statue of harriet tubman and she'll be pointing north towards freedom and there will be four figures out in the distance heading toward their freedom. when you enter the visitors center you enter in the south and if you look north you can see it's open. it's very bright and that's thanks to our wall there. when you're done you're experiencing the northern portion of the visitors center and you look south and it will be very enclosed and very dark and again, we did that on purpose to represent south, the south being encumbered and slavery and the north being open and free. the landscape is very important us to. it is our most important interpretive tool. harriet tubman underground railroad state park is 17 acres and we are surrounded by the national wild life refuge and they p
