James Webb Cabin, Caroline County, MD

The State of Maryland publishes a map entitled "Finding a Way to Freedom Driving Tour, The Underground Railroad in Dorchester and Caroline Counties in the 1850s."

From the driving tour text: "This cabin (c.1852) is the only [known?] surviving log dwelling on the Eastern Shore known to have been built by a free black man (James Webb). The structure is typical of the housing of most African Americans during that period. Built on ballast stones from ships, it stands near the Choptank River, Hog Creek and several roads, including Harriet Tubman's possible Underground Railroad route from Poplar Neck."

The day I was at the site (June 2010) it was clear that a major preservation effort was underway.
