Brick Fundraiser—Harriet’s Journey Home
Free

Use the link below to order and pay for your brick.

Sailing On The Choptank Through Ebony Eyes Friday, Oct 2nd
Pay what you can

Friday, October 2nd at 11:00 AM
Long Wharf, Cambridge.


This sail is reserved for students of Cambridge-South Dorchester High School, creating space for them to experience one of our greatest assets, the Choptank River.


These waters carry history. Stories like that of Kessiah Bowley, a Dorchester County woman who escaped to freedom with the help of her husband, remind us that the Choptank was more than a river. It was part of a path toward liberation. At the same time, Harriet Tubman, working from Baltimore and beyond, would go on to lead others to freedom, building a legacy that connects directly back to this region.


Through this experience, students will see the river not just as a place, but as a symbol of courage, strategy, and possibility.


This is more than a sail. It is a connection to who we are and who we can become.


Pride of Baltimore II Tours Saturday, October 3rd
Pay what you can

On Saturday, October 3rd join us on a tour of Pride of Baltimore II while it’s docked at Long Wharf. We will set sail and officially close out the Harriet Tubman Summit at 6:00pm under the Choptanis sunset.
