The Tubman Home: Unrealized potential
Progress is on hold on renovations at the Harriet Tubman Home, a site that a travel industry expert has said badly needs improving.
A sign greeting visitors at the home currently states attractions include the Home for the Aged, Tubman's Home and the ruins of the John Brown infirmary. But while people are allowed to tour the Home for the Aged, Tubman's home is not fit for tourists (people can look in the windows), and the ruins are not included in the current tour.
The current visitor experience is supposed to change. The Harriet Tubman Home Inc. has taken the first steps to restore the brick house Tubman lived in and the barn behind it. The work, however, is on hold right now as the organization's leaders contact firms for an assessment of hazardous materials removal, site manager the Rev. Paul G. Carter said.
