Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway
East New Market National Historic District, MD

Founded in 1673, East New Market (ENM) was a thriving center of commerce, including slave traders, for nearly three centuries before it was eclipsed by larger markets. Today, ENM boasts numerous fine examples of 18th, 19th, and 20th century architecture, best viewed on a self-guided walking tour.

Also in the district stands the Mt. Zion United Methodist Church, which was founded in 1843 by free blacks, including Rev. Samuel Greene, who was arrested in 1857 for owning a copy of the popular book, Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
