Stanley Institute
In the 1800s this one-room school was built and ran independently by the local black community determined to educate their children in a segregated school system.  It provided an education for grades 1 through 7 from 1867 through 1944, and then grades 1 through 6 through 1962.  As many as 85 children at once were enrolled here.  Also pictured is the Christ Rock Methodist Episcopal Church, built in 1875 located across the street from the Stanley Institute.  I t is one of the oldest surviving post-Civil War African-American churches on the lower Eastern Shore.  the church ceased to be used for religious services in 2004, but the local community wanted to save its history.

Buck Town Store in Bucktown, MD and Broodes Farm
This is Harriet Tubman's Act of Resistance took place when she refused to help an overseer restrain an enslaved man to prevent his escape.  The events that occurred at the Bucktown Store affected Tubman throughout her life.  To prevent the enslaved man to escape, the overseer picked up a two-pound counter weight and threw it at the enslaved man.  He missed and hit young teenage Tubman in the head, instead.  The weight fractured a portion of her skull, and drove a piece of the shawl into her head.  (Pictures from Patrick since Bucktown Store was not open for our tour.)   In the local water near the farm,Harriet would have caught muskrats in this water as a young girl in all weather without the proper clothing in any season.  Do you know what Patrick's tie pin represents that would tie into our tour to the area?
