Harriet Tubman/Underground Railroad Cultural Landscape - Endangered Maryland (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
 |
| From Endangered Maryland |
Listed in 2010, this landscape, running through Dorchester and Caroline Counties, retains much of the character of the time when Harriet Tubman navigated the
land in the 19th century. The landscape contains 32 significant sites that are directly relevant to Harriet Tubman's life and the Underground Railroad. A proposal is currently moving through the U.S. Congress to create a Harriet Tubman National Historical Park. While many growth-related threats exist, the main threat comes from the Mid-Atlantic Power Pathway (MAPP). The project
would construct 150-foot utility poles across 27 miles of Dorchester County's rural landscape. UPDATE: A proposal is currently moving through the U.S. Congress to create a Harriet Tubman National Historical Park and the roadway through the landscape has been designated an All American Road by America's Byways. In face of citizen opposition, the proposed route of the MAPP transmission line has been altered.
