About the Center
The Harriet Tubman Freedom Center for Education & Cultural Advancement stands as a radiant tribute to courage, resilience, and the unbreakable human spirit. More than a museum, it is a living sanctuary where art, history, and community converge to honor the legacy of a woman who risked everything to lead others toward freedom.
Through evocative exhibitions like A Taste of Freedom, immersive storytelling, and dynamic programs, the Center awakens in each visitor the vision of liberation, the power of spiritual resolve, and the transformative force of radical love. Here, Harriet Tubman’s story is not just remembered—it is felt, embodied, and carried forward by every person who walks through its doors.

Origins
Alex and Lisa Green are the heart and vision behind the Harriet Tubman Freedom Center, carrying forward a mission rooted in love, education, and community. As lifelong educators and historians, they saw more than just the story of Harriet Tubman—they saw a living legacy that still has the power to inspire courage, resilience, and unity today.
With boundless dedication, they transformed that vision into a space where art, history, and storytelling converge to awaken the spirit of freedom in all who enter. Their work is a tribute to Tubman’s journey and a gift to future generations, a reminder that ordinary people, when guided by purpose and conviction, can create extraordinary change.
Through their leadership, the Greens have built more than a center; they’ve created a beacon of hope, healing, and empowerment on the very soil where Tubman’s story began.
