The Cultural Landscape at Harriet Tubman National Historical Park
Our nation has a rich legacy of cultural landscapes – from carriage roads to battlefields, designed gardens to vernacular homesteads, and industrial complexes to river valley settlements. The NPS Park Cultural Landscapes Program promotes the stewardship of significant landscapes through research, planning, maintenance, training, and education.
This video introduces the cultural landscape at Harriet Tubman National Historical Park and invites viewers to learn more. NPS staff from the park, descendants of Harriet Tubman, and other people associated with the area describe the features and significance of this unique landscape and actions that have been taken to preserve it.
This video, announced on March 10 in honor of Harriet Tubman Day, is the latest in a series of videos designed to facilitate the transfer of knowledge gained through cultural landscape research and communicate unique aspects of a particular landscape’s history and significance.

Tudor architecture refers to the particular type of architecture, in a time period between 1485 to 1558. It occurs with the reign of the Tudor monarchs and becomes the final development of Medieval architecture in England and Wales. As many other styles, Tudor architecture had a number of distinctive features that separated it from Medieval period and later designs. An excessive usage of half-timber work and masonry, wide chimneys, inglenook fireplaces, four-centred arches, jettied top floors, heavy doors, large windows, landscaping and little gardens around the house, etc.
