Sandtown Rd. Choptank River - Harriet Tubman's Eastern Shore of Maryland


Sandtown Delaware - Harriet Tubman's Eastern Shore of Maryland
Harriet Tubman crossed over the Maryland Delaware border in to Sandtown Delaware on the Choptank River after following it from her birth home in Dorchester County Md. on her way North to freedom.  Sandtown Delaware is located on the border between Maryland and Delaware in Delaware. Freedom seekers reaching Sandtown still risked recapture, but they were well on their way to freedom.  Until the fugitive Slave Act People were free once they crossed in to Delaware. This is also the Mason Dixon Line between Maryland and Delaware.
