6. Harriet Tubman’s Schuylkill River Route
Harriet Tubman, known as the “Moses” of her people, led many along a perilous journey from Maryland’s Eastern Shore up the Schuylkill River towards Philadelphia. Relying on a network of allies, she leveraged natural cover and waterways to confuse pursuers, inspiring countless others to make the journey north. Read about Tubman’s work at the National Park Service (nps.gov).
