Nice, intimate and educational museum. A very personal experience in learning about Ms. Tubman and her trials and journeys. You must try the home-made ice cream shop next door. It's owner and ice cream creator are Harriet's descendants.

We will be in the area on a Mon and Tues do you ever do very small tours, or if you are working in the offices might we come in?

Marcia Polhamus | May 2, 2022
Linda Kemp | May 2, 2022

I found out there are two museums. A small one on Race Street where the Muriel is located, then there is a huge museum about 11 miles away. I went on a Saturday and the larger museum closed at 4:00 and I missed it. I will be making another visit. It is worth the trip. The history is just phenomenal.

Are dogs allowed at the site?

Vivian Smith | Feb 1, 2022
Valerie Needham | May 2, 2022

I didn't see any "no dogs" signs, but I wouldn't bring a pet dog into this museum. It's indoors. It's not too big of a museum, you may get away with tying up the dog out front where you can see it throught the large glass window and running in for a short visit.

What are the hours of operation for Monday and tuesday? Do the hours change weekly...

how can i order Harriett Tubman t shirts? Peace and blessings

Peggy Jupiter | Sep 29, 2020
Valerie Needham | May 2, 2022

This museum has a small gift shop, with some merchandise with her image. There were postcards, pictures, sweatshirts, and a few other things. Most of the items were the image of the beautiful mural. I don't recall a t-shirt. You could give the museum a call when it is open to see if you can order it remotely, or go in and see what they have for sale.

It's not like that. It's a TV, DVD about her, and maybe 15 seats inside the museum. No tickets needed.

If my company wanted to show a Harriet movie at your facility, how many people can your theater accommodate?

Dimples Fenelon | Sep 29, 2020
Nicholas Stephens | Sep 29, 2020

There's no theater at this location, but there is one at the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Park at the Eastern Shore. The film shown at the Education Center is shown on a TV in the main room, about 6 chairs setup around it. At the UR National Park, the theater seats at least 20-25 ppl. Hope that helps!

Valerie Needham | May 2, 2022

Are you meaning how long it took to get to freedom in Ohio? It would take 8 days of continuous walking to walk there from Ohio. But, the museum said that the escaped slaves used all modes of transportation to get to freedom.
