Join us for a Tour of History, Fun & Adventure! Seating is limited, so register today!

Come to the shore and celebrate centuries of legendary local ladies.  Discover Harriett Tubman who led scores of people to freedom on the Underground Railroad.  Then mosey on down to the home of Phoebe Anne Mosey, who shot her way to stardom as sharpshooter Annie Oakley.  Bea Arthur, a Cambridge native, served as an early United States Marine, later becoming a comedienne serving up laughter as our favorite Golden Girl.

Meet your local step-on guide at the Dorchester County/Sailwinds Visitor Center and then wind through the picturesque rural landscape on Maryland’s Eastern Shore exploring the childhood, teen and young adult years of Harriet Tubman’s life.  Visit the 1800’s general store which was the site of her first act of defiance.  Hear stories about her life as a slave, her family and escapes along the Underground Railroad in this area.  Visit the Harriett Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center.  Tour downtown Cambridge including Pine Street, Freedom House/Black House, Annie Oakley, Bea Arthur, Courthouse, High Street and Long Wharf (slave trading sites).
