Museum Tour

Join Us for a Visit to the Harriet Tubman Museum

The Harriet Tubman Museum of New Jersey shares the inspiring story of an American hero, the rich history of abolitionist activism, and the enduring legacy of the African American community in Cape May County and New Jersey.

Your entry is good from the start of the hour and includes admission for your exploration of the Museum's exhibits during the hour of your session. Timed ticket entry is limited to the one-hour session so the Museum staff can welcome our next visitors, given high demand.

Guided tours are given during particular sessions, and other sessions are self-guided for your own exploration.
