Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway
Greensboro, MD

Freedom seekers traveling north along the Choptank River would secretly pass through the Greensboro landscape as they made their way north to the shallows at Red Bridges. It was at transportation and trading hubs like this one that free and enslaved blacks worked side-by-side. At times, information was exchanged, and plans for escape were hatched. Many years ago among these fields, Hugh Hazlett was captured with eight other fugitives and sent back to Cambridge for trial.
