What happened after Harriet died?
After her death on March 10, 1913, Harriet Tubman was buried in Fort Hill Cemetery in Auburn, with military honors. Below is a picture of the cemetery in New York, and her grave. She has since received many honors, including the naming of the Liberty Ship Harriet Tubman, made in 1944 by Eleanor Roosevelt. On June 14, 1914 a big bronze plaque was placed at the Cayuga County Courthouse, and a civic holiday was declared in her honor. A tribute to the memory of Harriet Tubman was placed in Freedom Park. This tribute opened in the summer of 1994 at 17 North Street in Auburn. In 1995, Harriet Tubman was honored by the federal government with a commemorative postage stamp bearing her name and likeness. Above is The Liberty Ship, Harriet Tubman.
