Tour Cayuga

10/10/2026

One of the best ways to understand Harriet Tubman’s life in her chosen home of Auburn, NY is to step inside the places where she worshipped and built community.

October is the final month of the season to visit Thompson Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church and the Parsonage at Harriet Tubman National Historical Park before they close for the winter.

Stop in on a Friday or Saturday from 10am-4pm, explore the church, and join a ranger program for a deeper look at Tubman’s life in her chosen hometown.

David Thomas: A Most Useful Man
A member of America’s first generation not to grow up as British subjects, David Thomas moved to the Town of Ledyard from a farm in Pennsylvania before the age of 30. Self-educated, intelligent, and a hard worker, he was modest and genial. Yet he was also one of the new breed - the distinct so-called "American Type“ - that would transform the new nation in the first decades of the 19th century. His achievements in agriculture and engineering contributed to unparalleled local prosperity and left lasting marks on our landscape. What was the character of this unassuming, remarkable man living amongst us?

Our presenter is Shirley Egan, President of the Aurora Ledyard Historical Society.

The Aurora Ledyard Historical Society is a co-sponsor of this event.
