72) Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Monument

Visited: Tuesday, July 23rd, 2013

How do you visit an NPS site that's been named - but which doesn't really exist yet?  And what's necessary to count visiting such a site?

There are some real issues here, as there's actually no way to visit one of the NPS sites - Hohokam Pima National Monument has no public access.  For the Harriet Tubman site, things are much easier; waiting two or three years should do the trick.  But for now, there is the Harriet Tubman Museum in Cambridge to visit - and visit it we did.  It's a small museum, but staffed by folks who clearly care dearly about Tubman.

We'll go back, but we've visited what for now is the place to visit - where they do have the NPS pamphlets, by the way - so it goes on to the visited list.

For Hohokam Pima, I suspect it's just going to be visiting the Snaketown artifacts in Casa Grande Ruins NM which will have to suffice.
