That’s Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad NM, Alan. hehe. There was serious talk of including a site in Rochester, NY, in the monument, and it may yet be added.

I would urge legislators to also include Salem Chapel National Historic Site in the monument, making the group an International Monument–which would be a unique designation in the system. Alternatively, it might be named an International Historical Park, making it only the second in the US system (the only one currently is Klondike Gold Rush IHP).

Salem Chapel NHS, in St. Catharines, Ontario, was Tubman’s center of operations. She is memorialized there with plaques and statuary, and is designated a Person of National Historic Significance by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board. Take a peek here:

That’s awesome, Alan! Congrats—I know how much of an accomplishment it is.

Just hit #401 this past May 25th at Harriet Tubman NM in Maryland, but have yet to update the website…
