Harriet Tubman’s lost childhood home discovered by archaeologists

An archaeologist believes she may have found the home of abolitionist and Underground Railroad mastermind Harriet Tubman.

Julie Schablitsky, an archaeologist leading a team from the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration, believes she has found the home of Ben Ross, Ms Tubman's father.

The site is located on Maryland's Eastern Shore, "deep in the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge," according to a statement released by the team.
