"New Harriet Tubman Center Opens with Powerful Exhibit"

CAMBRIDGE, MD — On Sunday, June 29, 2025, a bold new chapter in American history opens to the public — not from a textbook, but from the heart of Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

The Harriet Tubman Freedom Center, located at 3030 Center Drive in Cambridge, is officially opening its doors, inviting the world to honor the life, courage, and legacy of one of the greatest American heroes — Harriet Tubman. The grand opening event will debut with a stunning visual art exhibition titled "A Taste of Freedom," featuring works from acclaimed Black artists across Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic.

But the center is more than just a gallery — it’s a living, breathing tribute to Tubman’s journey, curated with soul, passion, and a fierce dedication to telling the full truth of history.

A Legacy in Every Brushstroke

"A Taste of Freedom" is a dynamic and emotional exploration of Harriet Tubman’s legacy, interpreted through sculpture, painting, mixed media, and installation art. The exhibit paints a powerful picture of Tubman not just as the conductor of the Underground Railroad, but as a freedom fighter, nurse, spy, abolitionist, activist, and deeply spiritual woman whose life continues to inspire generations.

This immersive exhibit will run through September 2025, giving visitors months to experience a wide range of creative perspectives. Opening day will include live music, spoken word performances, and community conversations — all aimed at sparking a deeper understanding of freedom, resistance, and resilience.

Alex & Lisa Green: Walking Tubman’s Path — Literally

At the heart of the center are Alex Green and his wife Lisa, lifelong educators, historians, and the passionate forces behind the Harriet Tubman Freedom Center. For years, they’ve led Harriet Tubman Tours — powerful, immersive experiences that take visitors beyond the brochure and into the real stories, sites, and spirit of Tubman’s life.

Their tours aren’t just history lessons — they’re time-traveling journeys that take guests to actual locations where Tubman lived, worked, prayed, and resisted. With deep research, storytelling, and emotional impact, Alex and Lisa walk side-by-side with their guests, unveiling truths buried beneath centuries of silence.

“Harriet Tubman’s story is not just a story of escape — it’s a story of radical love, spiritual power, and unwavering purpose,” says Alex. “She risked everything for others. We feel honored to walk her path and share it with the world.”

The couple has spent decades preserving oral histories, researching records, and partnering with local descendants and communities to ensure their tours are authentic, respectful, and deeply transformative.

More Than a Museum — A Movement

The Harriet Tubman Freedom Center is envisioned as a living museum and cultural hub — a place where art, activism, education, and community collide. Through year-round exhibits, historical tours, youth programming, and cultural events, the center will serve as a beacon of truth and hope in Tubman’s name.

Whether you're a local resident or a traveler following the Tubman Byway, this is a must-visit destination for anyone who believes in justice, courage, and the enduring power of faith.
