Hosted annually in March by the Center for Women, the Harriet Tubman Hike invites students into a reflective outdoor experience that honors Tubman’s legacy as a naturalist and skilled guide. Set at Sweetwater Creek State Park, the hike takes place at dusk and includes a guided walk with a state park ranger to the historic mill ruins nestled along the water.

As students explore the landscape, they learn about Georgia’s history, from the origins of the mill to the story of its burning, while the Center for Women shares insights into Harriet Tubman’s deep knowledge of the natural world and her ability to move through wilderness with intention and awareness. Participants are given special access to walk through the ruins and reflect on the layered stories held by the land.

All Emory students are encouraged to participate.
Dress Casual (jeans ok)
